Without a doubt, August was a busy month for Angel Reese. The player appeared in 10 games with the Atlanta Dream, eight of which ended in victories, a run that ultimately secured the team a spot in the Playoffs.<\/p>\n

Individually, she averaged 17 points, 14.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. Her consistency also earned her consecutive Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors.<\/p>\n

And while those numbers would already be enough to stand out, Angel took things to another level.<\/p>\n

Three records that changed her August<\/p>\n

On August 22, Angel recorded 31 points and 14 rebounds against the Phoenix Mercury, setting a new season-high in scoring. Just two days later came the performance that made history.<\/p>\n

Against the Los Angeles Sparks, she grabbed 26 rebounds, the most ever recorded by a player in a single game in WNBA history. That same night, she also broke the record for most rebounds in a single season.<\/p>\n

Her final major milestone came on August 30, when she posted 15 points and 11 rebounds against the Minnesota Lynx to record her 29th double-double of the year.<\/p>\n

A summer recap<\/p>\n

But if anything has become clear, it is that Angel has also turned her social media into a space where she shares some of her biggest moments, and this summer closeout was no exception. The player posted a recap featuring several photos from on and off the court, including one with a young fan posing beside her while Angel holds her own Barbie. Beyond the moment itself, the photo reflects the connection the star has built with her youngest admirers.<\/p>\n

A different side of her style<\/p>\n

Fashion also had a place in the recap. In one of the photos, Angel wears a red jacket, black pants, a red bag with thick white lines, dark sunglasses and matching shoes. Later, she completely changes the look with light-wash jeans, a black top, a belt, gold jewelry and a black bag.<\/p>\n

The collection also includes Nneka Ogwumike, one of the WNBA’s most recognized figures. A champion, MVP, 11-time All-Star and president of the WNBPA, Ogwumike shares a moment with Angel as the two pose in a semi-embrace, showing the closeness they have developed within the league.<\/p>\n

Their relationship is shaped by admiration and respect, and the photo offers a glimpse of the connections Angel has formed while building her own path in the WNBA.<\/p>\n

September already has her next destination<\/p>\n

Now, as a new month begins, the calendar enters a different stage. The WNBA will take a break for the international FIBA tournament, meaning Angel will not return to action with Atlanta until September 17.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Without a doubt, August was a busy month for Angel Reese.
