Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese is no longer the WNBA record holder for most rebounds in a single season. 

The 22-year-old Reese broke the record when she recorded her 418th in a 79-74 defeat against the Minnesota Lynx on Sept. 1. She held it at the time she announced her rookie season would end due to injury on Sept. 7, later saying she would need surgery on her wrist. 

But it took just 10 days for that rebounds record to slip through Reese's fingers at the hands of Las Vegas Aces star and MVP frontrunner A'ja Wilson. Wilson broke the record in an 85-72 win over the Seattle Storm on Tuesday night, setting the new bar at 451 total rebounds. Wilson also has one more game to go to set that bar even higher, as Las Vegas hosts the 9-30 Dallas Wings on Thursday night. Wilson also broke the single-season scoring record on Sept. 11.

Reese was on pace to set the bar much higher before she went down with injury. She initially broke the record with eight games remaining on the schedule. 

Reese was even considered a challenger, albeit a distant one, to Indiana Fever rookie superstar Caitlin Clark for WNBA Rookie of the Year honors. There were many who argued she deserved the award more than Clark earlier in the season. 

Former NBA All-Star Joakim Noah told Fox News Digital earlier this month that he would vote for Reese over Clark for Rookie of the Year if he had a say. 

Noah’s reasoning is not rooted in any statistical argument, however. The 6-foot-11 Noah likes the fact that the 6-foot-3 Reese's play is more like his than the 6-foot Clark. Reese's height advantage worked heavily in her favor in terms of achieving the historic rebound numbers, as her average was more than twice that of Clark's when the Sky rookie went out with an injury. 

Meanwhile, WNBA legend Lisa Leslie infamously said earlier this season that Reese and Clark should share Rookie of the Year.

Reese’s height advantage over Clark has resulted in the Sky rookie having stronger finishes in the paint, and a few very physical blocks and block attempts. Some instances have also resulted in some hard fouls being called against Reese for her defense on Clark. In a game on June 16, Clark was going in for a layup. Reese didn’t quite have the wingspan to block the shot, but got a flagrant 1 when she hit Clark in the head from above instead. 

However, Clark has all-but put the debate away over the last month. Clark is now the only player besides Wilson to hold a single-season record in one of the three major statistics of points, rebounds and assists, as Clark broke the assists record on Sept. 13, then broke the single-season rookie scoring record on Sept. 16. 

And while Reese's injury has kept her from keeping pace with this season's historic numbers on the court, it hasn't stopped her from launching her media career. 

Reese released the second episode of her podcast on Sept. 12, where she interviewed Polo G. Reese is now two episodes into her podcast, which she has used to discuss her rivalry with Clark. 

Reese recounted her most famous meeting with Clark, the 2023 NCAA women's basketball championship game, and the moment she pointed to her finger to boast in victory as a moment that changed her life. She claims it ignited a series of intense interactions between certain members of Clark's passionate followers and Reese and some of her Chicago Sky teammates.

"I think it's really just the fans, her fans, the Iowa fans, now the Indiana fans, that are really just, they ride for her, and I respect that, respectfully. But sometimes it's very disrespectful. I think there's a lot of racism when it comes to it," Reese said.

The Justice Department filed a $100 million lawsuit on Tuesday against the owner and operator of the Dali vessel that crashed into Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge, which subsequently collapsed.

The civil claim, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, targets Singaporean corporations Grace Ocean Private Limited and Synergy Marine Private Limited, which owned and operated the Dali container ship.

"The ship’s owner and manager – who now ask the Court to limit their liability to less than $44 million – sent an ill-prepared crew on an abjectly unseaworthy vessel to navigate the United States’ waterways," the lawsuit says. "They did so to reap the benefit of conducting business in American ports. Yet they cut corners in ways that risked lives and infrastructure. Those responsible for the vessel must be held fully accountable for the catastrophic harm they caused, and punitive damages should be imposed to deter such misconduct."    

The Dali left the Port of Baltimore in the early morning hours of March 26 bound for Sri Lanka. The lawsuit summarizes how the ship lost power, regained power, then lost it a second time while maneuvering through Fort McHenry Channel. The vessel then struck the Key Bridge, causing its collapse. Six people were killed. 

The lawsuit says the incident brought all shipping in and out of the port to a standstill and cut off a critical highway route. In the aftermath, the U.S. government needed to haul about 50,000 tons of steel, concrete and asphalt from the channel and from the ship itself in order to eventually reopen the Port of Baltimore, the DOJ said. The claim seeks to recover $100 million in damages the federal government spent on responding to the disaster and cleanup, but it does not include bridge reconstruction. The state of Maryland incurred those costs and may pursue a claim of its own in the future, according to the DOJ.

"This accident happened because of the careless and grossly negligent decisions made by Grace Ocean and Synergy, who recklessly chose to send an unseaworthy vessel to navigate a critical waterway and ignored the risks to American lives and the nation’s infrastructure," Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Chetan Patil told reporters. 

"The Justice Department is committed to ensuring accountability for those responsible for the destruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which resulted in the tragic deaths of six people and disrupted our country’s transportation and defense infrastructure," Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement. "With this civil claim, the Justice Department is working to ensure that the costs of clearing the channel and reopening the Port of Baltimore are borne by the companies that caused the crash, not by the American taxpayer."

"The owner and operator of the Dali were well aware of vibration issues on the vessel that could cause a power outage. But instead of taking necessary precautions, they did the opposite," Principal Deputy Associate Attorney General Benjamin Mizer said. "Out of negligence, mismanagement, and, at times, a desire to cut costs, they configured the ship’s electrical and mechanical systems in a way that prevented those systems from being able to quickly restore propulsion and steering after a power outage. As a result, when the Dali lost power, a cascading set of failures led to disaster."

The lawsuit notes that neither the propeller, rudder, anchor nor bow thruster, all of which should have been available to steer the Dali, worked when they were needed "to avert or even mitigate this disaster." 

"This was an entirely avoidable catastrophe, resulting from a series of eminently foreseeable errors made by the owner and operator of the Dali," Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian M. Boynton, head of the Justice Department's Civil Division, said. "The suit seeks to recover the costs incurred by the United States in responding to this disaster, which include removing the bridge parts from the channel and those parts that were entangled with the vessel, as well as abating the substantial risk of oil pollution." 

Fox News Digital reached out to Synergy Marine Private Limited and an attorney for Grace Ocean Private Limited for comment, but they did not immediately respond.
