Reese had 10 points and 11 rebounds, breaking a tie with Tina Charles for rookie double-doubles with 23 and passing Sylvia Fowles for the Chicago season record. She also has a rookie record 399 rebounds.
The game drew a sellout crowd of 9,445 to Wintrust Arena on Barbie Night, which was a nod to Reese's college nickname at LSU — the Bayou Barbie. NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal, who has seemed to take on a mentorship role as it relates to Reese, also sat courtside on Friday night.
The four-time NBA champion is the president of basketball operations at Reebok and played a key role in Reese signing a name, image, and likeness (NIL) with the footwear company last October.
