Overview

  • The Sky fell 85-66 to the New York Liberty, marking their second straight blowout defeat and dropping them to 2-6 on the season.
  • Angel Reese posted 17 points, 11 rebounds and three assists for her fourth double-double of the year and set a WNBA record as the fastest player to reach 30 career double-doubles in 42 games.
  • Chicago committed 22 turnovers against New York and now ranks last in the league in defensive rating, allowing an average of 89.5 points per game.
  • The loss of veteran guard Courtney Vandersloot to a season-ending ACL tear has left Chicago without its primary playmaker and exposed depth issues on offense.
  • Ariel Atkins publicly defended Reese against non-basketball criticism at the postgame press conference, highlighting the squad’s solidarity amid growing external scrutiny.
