Overview

  • Chicago rallied for an 87-81 victory over the 18-4 Minnesota Lynx at Wintrust Arena to snap their drought against teams with winning records.
  • Reese posted 19 points and 11 rebounds for her eighth straight double-double and 14th of the season, extending her dominant stretch.
  • She became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 250 rebounds in a single season, achieving the mark in just 20 games.
  • Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve lambasted the league’s condensed 44-game schedule for frequent back-to-back matchups and noon tipoffs that she called “illogical.”
  • Off the court, Reese has trademarked “Mebounds,” launched an anti-cyberbullying merchandise line and landed the NBA 2K26 WNBA cover alongside a signature sneaker partnership.
