Overview

  • Courtney Vandersloot tore her right ACL five minutes into Saturday’s game and will miss the rest of the season following surgery
  • Chicago fell 79-52 to the Indiana Fever at the United Center as the Sky’s offense became static without their leading playmaker
  • The team’s 2-5 record ranks third-worst in the WNBA and fans have urged the front office to sign a replacement point guard
  • Angel Reese scored only four points in the loss and has been advised by Candace Parker to hone a signature offensive move
  • Indiana improved to 4-4 behind Kelsey Mitchell’s 17 points and Aari McDonald’s 12 off the bench as Caitlin Clark continues her quad strain recovery
