Overview

  • The Chicago Sky signed second-year guard Marquesha Davis to a seven-day hardship contract to address their depleted backcourt.
  • Courtney Vandersloot, Ariel Atkins and Michaela Onyenwere are all sidelined by serious injuries, qualifying Chicago for the hardship signing.
  • The Sky fell 91-68 to the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday, moving to 7-16 and 11th in the standings, four games behind the final playoff spot.
  • Davis did not participate in Tuesday’s shootaround, leaving her status for upcoming games uncertain.
  • With 21 games left and the league’s third-toughest remaining schedule, Chicago must improve its turnover and defensive metrics to keep playoff hopes alive.
