What happened: Reese has collected 29 double-doubles in 2026, a WNBA single-season record. Her 26-rebound game also set a league mark and helped carry her past the previous season total of 451.

Why it matters: She averages 3.2 turnovers against 2.8 assists, leaving ball security as a clear postseason pressure point. A 43.7% mark from the field gives opponents another way to blunt possessions even when she controls the glass.

By the numbers: Through 39 games: 16.1 points, 12.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 3.2 turnovers per game; 43.7% shooting; 485 total rebounds.

What to watch: The next test is whether Reese can trim giveaways after the World Cup break while preserving her rebounding volume.
