Angel Reese isn't the only elite rebounder in the Reese family.
Her younger brother, Julian, made NBA history for the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night.

In a 133-110 win over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday, Julian Reese notched a 26-point, 17-rebound double-double.
It tied him with the legendary Shaquille O'Neal as the fastest player in NBA history to reach 60 career rebounds.

— Real App (@realapp) March 26, 2026Curiously, Reese's first game against the Jazz earlier this month saw him join Shaq and Tim Duncan as the only players in the past 40 years to record a 20-rebound game within their first five career appearances.
Reese was recently recalled from the Capital City Go-Go as he remains on a two-way contract. But judging from his rebounding numbers, he may be in consideration for a standard NBA contract -- he's averaging 12.0 points and 10.7 rebounds in six games.
It goes to show that rebounding really does run in the family. Julian's sister Angel is the two-time defending rebounding champion in the WNBA, absolutely dominating the glass since the Chicago Sky drafted her seventh overall in 2024.
