Sky's Angel Reese Makes More Double-Double History, but Reaches Technical Foul Limit in Ugly Loss to Lynx
HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA, JUL 22 – Angel Reese became the first WNBA player with multiple 10-game double-double streaks, averaging 14 points and 12.6 rebounds this season despite the Chicago Sky's 7-16 record.
- The Minnesota Lynx defeated the Chicago Sky 91-68 on Tuesday night at Target Center, marking the Sky's third consecutive loss and dropping them to 7-16 this season.
- The Sky struggled due to turnovers and missing key player Ariel Atkins, who is expected to miss two more games, which weakened their chances against the league-leading Lynx.
- Angel Reese recorded her 10th consecutive double-double, becoming the first WNBA player with multiple streaks of 10-plus double-doubles, but also had a career-high nine turnovers and received a technical foul.
- Reese has seven technical fouls this season, reaching the current suspension threshold of eight technicals established due to the league's expansion to a 44-game schedule, with automatic suspensions applied upon exceeding this limit.
- The defeat leaves the Sky four games behind the final playoff spot held by the Washington Mystics with 21 games remaining and highlights the team's challenges ahead amid injuries and a tough remaining schedule.
