Tina Charles Breaks WNBA Rebounding Record

Tina Charles of the Atlanta Dream has set a new WNBA record for all-time rebounds, surpassing Sylvia Fowles with her 4,007th board during a game against the New York Liberty. The milestone was achieved early in the first quarter, contributing to her current season averages of 15 points and 9.6 rebounds per game. Charles, a 14-year league veteran and former No. 1 overall pick, has tied Fowles with 193 career double-doubles and aims to break this record in the Dream's final game or next season if she continues her career. She has played for several teams throughout her career, including Connecticut Sun, New York Liberty, Washington Mystics, Phoenix Mercury, and Seattle Storm, before joining the Dream this year after not playing in 2023. Additionally, she was honored with an induction into New York City's Basketball Hall of Fame prior to the game. Charles is the only player in WNBA history with over 7,000 points and 4,000 rebounds.
