Someone just stole the spotlight from Trae Young’s debut for the Washington Wizards<\/a> Thursday night at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

And it’s none other than Chicago Sky star forward Angel Reese<\/a>‘s brother, Julian Reese.<\/p>\n

In just his third game in the NBA, Julian Reese turned heads with a historic feat<\/a>, as he finished with 18 points on 5\/7 shooting from the field to go with an eye-popping total of 20 rebounds \u2014 10 defensive and 10 offensive. He also added two assists and a steal, all in 38 minutes of work, albeit in a 122-112 loss to the visiting Jazz.<\/p>\n

Over a decade had passed until Thursday, when someone from the Wizards was able to amass at least 10 defensive rebounds and 10 offensive rebounds in a game.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is the first Wizards player to have 10 offensive and 10 defensive rebounds in a game since Antawn Jamison on Jan. 30, 2010,\u201d ESPN Insights shared via a social media post on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n

Jamison had 21 points and 23 rebounds<\/a> total in a 106-96 win at home over the New York Knicks on Jan. 30, 2010. He had 12 defensive boards and the other 11 were from the offensive side of the court.<\/p>\n

Julian’s rebounding effort against hte Jazz was true to form for a Reese. Her sister is also known for her rebounding prowess. In her first two seasons in the WNBA, Angel averaged 12.9 rebounds through 64 games.<\/p>\n

A product of the Maryland Terrapins basketball program, Julian was signed by the Wizards to a two-way contract<\/a> in February. Unless he gets called to the G League, Julian will look to sustain his momentum on Sunday against the New Orleans Pelicans at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Someone just stole the spotlight from Trae Young’s debut for the Washington Wizards Thursday night at Capital One…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":642721,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3780],"tags":[453,7,6,494,682,468,3892,683],"class_list":{"0":"post-646658","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-washington-wizards","8":"tag-angel-reese","9":"tag-basketball","10":"tag-nba","11":"tag-trae-young","12":"tag-washington","13":"tag-washington-wizards","14":"tag-washingtonwizards","15":"tag-wizards"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116192174783327331","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/646658","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=646658"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/646658\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/642721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=646658"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=646658"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=646658"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
