Overview

  • The Seattle Storm (14-10) will visit the Chicago Sky (7-16) at Wintrust Arena on Thursday at 8:30 p.m. EDT.
  • Chicago has dropped three straight games and ranks second in the Eastern Conference with 36.6 rebounds per game, paced by Angel Reese’s 12.5 boards.
  • Seattle’s bench unit has been outscored in 10 consecutive games, and coach Noelle Quinn said the team hopes to welcome back Skylar Diggins for Thursday’s game after her personal leave.
  • Season-ending injuries to Chicago guard Courtney Vandersloot (ACL) and Seattle forward Katie Lou Samuelson (knee) have thinned both clubs’ rotations.
  • ESPN’s predictive model gives the Storm a 63.2% chance to win in the teams’ first meeting of the season.
