Overview

  • The Sky fell 85-66 to the New York Liberty, extending their losing streak to two games and dropping to 2-6 on the season.
  • Angel Reese led Chicago with 17 points, 11 rebounds and three assists, marking her fourth double-double of the year.
  • Reese set a WNBA record by reaching 30 career double-doubles in just 42 games, becoming the fastest player in league history to do so.
  • Chicago’s defense and ball security remain subpar, as the team ranks near the bottom of the league in defensive rating and averages 17.1 turnovers per game.
  • Point guard Courtney Vandersloot’s season-ending ACL injury has left a leadership void that the Sky must address to regain on-court cohesion.
