On Sunday, the Atlanta Dream<\/a> towered over the Minnesota Lynx<\/a> and took home a victory<\/a>, 89-81, just in time for the team to enter the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup Break.<\/p>\n

In that game, Dream star Angel Reese set a new WNBA record<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“With her 29th double-double, Angel Reese now stands alone with the most in a single season in league history,” the team announced on social media<\/a> after the game.<\/p>\n

Well, as if that little bit of history wasn’t enough, Reese is at it again. She just got another honor in the WNBA.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAngel Reese earns another WNBA honor<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the WNBA officially announced that Reese<\/a> is the WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week. This is her second week in a row winning the title.<\/p>\n

“The honor marks Reese’s second with Atlanta and fourth of her three-year WNBA career,” the WNBA said in a statement. “Reese led the Dream to a 2-1 record during the week, averaging 14.4 points, 17.7 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game.”<\/p>\n

She’s the second Dream player to earn the honor, along with Rhyne Howard. It’s a nice way to go into the long break.<\/p>\n

It’s not really a break for Reese, though. Now, both Reese and Howard will play for the United States at the 2026 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup in Germany.<\/p>\n
