Career Milestones & Achievements

Previous record: Not applicable: annual official WNBA team selection, not a displaced statistical record.

Angel Reese was named to the official 2026 All-WNBA Second Team on October 24, 2026. Her first All-WNBA honor. The saved Yahoo graphic, WNBA's official announcement thread and independent reporting agree on the five selections. This is a separate player row, not a combined team entry.

Previous record: For the 20-point double-double threshold: Cappie Pondexter, 24 years and 252 days in 2007. The previous holder for the separate 30-point threshold was not established.

Angel Reese recorded 30 points and 16 rebounds in Atlanta's Game 2 win on October 19, 2026, becoming the youngest WNBA Finals player with a double-double and at least 20 points at age 24 years, 166 days. Underdog's age leaderboard lists Cappie Pondexter at 24 years, 252 days as the prior youngest. CBS corroborates the game line and the 20-point Finals distinction. A second bookmarked post from Polymarket Hoops calls the same performance the youngest 30-point Finals double-double. The two related age/threshold claims are consolidated in this one game milestone; Pondexter's prior age is not asserted as the previous 30-point record.

Previous record: Previous record holder and total were not established in the checked sources; the historical first-playoff-run comparison is attributed to Real App.

Angel Reese reached 14 blocks through the first seven games of her first WNBA playoff run, ending with Finals Game 2 on October 19, 2026. Real App's source graphic gives 14 and identifies it as the most blocks by any player in their first WNBA playoff run. CBS independently reports two blocks per game over seven playoff games, consistent with that total, but does not independently state the historical comparison. Preserve this as an October 19 snapshot, not the final postseason total. This blocks-only record across all players is distinct from her earlier center-specific combined steals-plus-blocks milestone.

Previous record: Previous record holder and total were not established; the center-specific historical comparison is attributed to Real App.

Through her first five playoff games ending October 9, 2026, Angel Reese totaled eight steals and 11 blocks, or 19 combined. Real App identifies this as the most steals plus blocks by a center in her first WNBA playoff run; both the record comparison and center classification are attributed to that source. Her Hoop Stats corroborates the five-game totals. This is an October 9 record snapshot, not her final or current postseason total. The Polymarket Hoops bookmark is duplicate evidence for this same achievement.
