Overview

• The Sky have dropped seven straight games to fall to 7–20 and all but eliminate their postseason prospects.
• Angel Reese will miss Sunday’s matchup with Phoenix due to a recurring back issue that has cost her three of the last four contests.
• Chicago has used as few as eight players in recent outings after Courtney Vandersloot tore her ACL in June and Ariel Atkins and Hailey Van Lith remained out.
• Reese, who set the WNBA record as the fastest to 500 points and 500 rebounds, leads the league in double-doubles but the Sky are 0–3 without her.
• Debate continues between fans urging a season shutdown for Reese and ESPN hosts arguing she should play when healthy to benefit the franchise’s future.
