Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese was announced Tuesday night as a WNBA All-Star, part of a roster that includes Caitlin Clark and Arike Ogunbowale.

Reese and Clark were the only two rookies to make the All-Star team. Reese is averaging 13.2 points and 11.8 rebounds in 18 games and broke Candace Parker’s single-season record for consecutive double-doubles with her 10th straight Sunday. She extended the streak to 11 shortly before the All-Star announcement with 12 points and a season-high 19 rebounds in an 85-77 victory over the Atlanta Dream.

Earlier Tuesday, Reese was named Rookie of the Month for June after averaging 14.5 points and 13.2 rebounds in 11 games.

Reese teared up during her postgame news conference after being informed of her All-Star selection.

“I’m just so happy,” she said. “I know the work I put in. Coming into this league, so many people doubted me and didn’t think my game would translate and I wouldn’t be the player that I was in college or would be worse and wouldn’t be where I am right now.

“But I trusted the process and I believed and I’m thankful that I dropped to [No.] 7 [in the draft] and was able to come to Chicago. It’s just a blessing.”Turn to Reese, Page 16
