Drafted as the No. 7 overall pick earlier this year, she hit several milestones with the Sky, recording 26 double-doubles, the second most for a single season in WNBA history. She registered 15 of them consecutively.<\/p>\n<p>The former LSU star has also registered the most rebounds in a WNBA season, proving to be a beast on the boards.<\/p>\n<p>Reese\u2019s first-season stats bear averages of 13.6 points, 13.1 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game. She was named an All-Star ahead of the Olympics and has been firmly lodged in the Rookie of the Year race all season.<\/p>\n<p>The Sky had her listed as questionable ahead of Sunday\u2019s clash vs. the Dallas Wings, but it appears the injury is not one she will be able to play through.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Angel Reese\u2019s rookie season is over.
