She became the fastest player to reach at least 500 points and 500 rebounds in a race, doing it in 38 games. Houston Comets’s great Thompson Tina had the brand previously, since he did it in the first 44 games of his career between the 1997 and 1998 seasons.
Reese has 502 points and 502 rebounds.
The milestone occurred when the WNBA closed its research in alleged comments of hate towards Sky players. Associated Press reported that the League was specifically investigating the accusations of racial insults towards Reese.
Reese was not asked about the investigation after the game.

“We have investigated the report of the racist behavior of fans near the court during the Chicago sky of May 17, 2025 in the Indiana fever game,” said the League.
“According to the information collected to date, even of relevant fans, the team and sand team, as well as the audio and video review of the game, we have not corroborated. The WNBA is committed to promoting a safe and inclusive environment for all and will continue to be attentive when enforcing our fans’ code of behavior.”
The president and CEO of Sky, Adam Fox, expressed his gratitude for fever and the league for the investigation.
