Overview
- Chicago managed only eight active players on July 27 and dropped a 93-78 decision to the Fever, slipping to a 7-18 record
- Veteran guard Rachel Banham led the way with 26 points and the Sky collectively connected on 10 of 19 three-pointers
- Second-year center Kamilla Cardoso dominated early with 12 points and seven boards but went scoreless after halftime as defenders forced her away from the block
- Tyler Marsh admitted opponents are adapting by denying post entries and said the team needs new offensive schemes to restore Cardoso’s impact
- Ongoing injuries to key contributors and a thin rotation have exposed execution gaps and intensified pressure on Marsh’s rebuild
