The Atlanta Dream forward added her 32nd double-double Monday against the New York Liberty, extending the league record she set this season. Reese finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds in Atlanta’s 95-84 win at Barclays Center.The milestone moved her into a tie with Hall of Famer Yolanda Griffith for 12th on the WNBA’s double-double list. The moment arrived as Atlanta pushed toward home-court advantage and Reese continued a record-setting third season. Her production has helped define Atlanta’s rise. The numbers now connect her with legends.Reese’s record keeps expandingReese’s 32nd double-double came late in the 2026 regular season. It extended the single-season record she had already broken with her 29th double-double against Minnesota on Aug. 30.That record previously belonged to Alyssa Thomas, who recorded 28 double-doubles in 2022. Reese moved past Thomas in August and kept adding to the mark through Atlanta’s final weeks.The timing is notable because Reese played 30 games in 2025 and missed time late in the season with a back injury. Her availability and production in 2026 made the double-double total one of Atlanta’s defining statistical stories.The Liberty win added more contextAtlanta’s 95-84 victory over New York was not simply a milestone night for Reese. Jordin Canada led the Dream with 19 points and nine assists, while DeWanna Bonner scored 17 and Rhyne Howard added 16.Reese supplied 18 points on 7-of-14 shooting and grabbed nine defensive rebounds plus one offensive rebound. She also added two assists and a block as Atlanta controlled the glass and pulled away after leading by three at halftime.New York had played Toronto the previous night, while Atlanta had a full day between games. The Liberty still got 27 points and 14 rebounds from Breanna Stewart, but Atlanta’s balanced attack produced its fourth straight win.Her career total puts the milestone in perspectiveThe double-double against New York gave Reese 81 for her career, tying Griffith for 12th in WNBA history. She reached that total during her third WNBA season after entering the league as the seventh overall pick in 2024.Reese began with Chicago and recorded 26 double-doubles as a rookie. She added 23 more in 2025, giving her 49 through two seasons before joining Atlanta in a trade during the 2026 offseason.The 2026 season has accounted for 32 of Reese’s 81 career double-doubles. That production has moved her rapidly up a list populated by long-tenured stars and Hall of Fame-level players.Griffith’s place on the list reflects an 11-year WNBA career that included seven All-Star selections, a 1999 MVP award and a 2005 championship with Sacramento. Reese has reached the same double-double total in far fewer seasons.Source: lev radin/Shutterstock.comReese’s rebounding has fueled the runReese’s double-double production is closely tied to her wo
