The hoops aren’t the only thing we’ve been waiting on 🤩 W fit checks are back: Angel Reese edition! She's only 15 rebou

What happened: Reese carries 485 rebounds into Thursday night's 7:30 p.m. ET game, putting the 500 mark within one big outing. The matchup is scheduled to air on League Pass.

Why it matters: A 500-rebound season would give Reese a WNBA first and add another benchmark to one of the league's standout rebounding years. It also extends Reese's record-setting rebounding run into another late-season checkpoint.

By the numbers: Reese enters the night with 485 rebounds. Another 15 would make her the first player in WNBA history to reach 500 rebounds in a single season.

What to watch: The immediate watch is whether Reese can erase the remaining 15 rebounds in one game. If not, the 500-rebound chase carries forward as the next milestone on her calendar.
