Chicago Sky Injury Report: Will Angel Reese Play Against Connecticut Sun on August 23?
Will Angel Reese suit up against Connecticut Sun on Friday, August 23? Her status remains uncertain as the team prepares for a critical showdown. Find out more about her condition.
The Chicago Sky face the Connecticut Sun tonight, with Angel Reese ready to take on the challenge. Reese averages 13.6 points, and 12.3 rebounds and has a 20% success rate from beyond the arc. The Sun have split their last four games, securing a win against the Los Angeles Sparks on Tuesday, August 20 but falling to the Atlanta Dream last Sunday. They also defeated the Dallas Wings but suffered a loss to the New York Liberty.
The Chicago Sky currently holds the 8th spot in the WNBA, clinging to the final playoff position and aiming to avoid dropping to 9th, which would knock them out of the postseason. The Sky have struggled against the Sun this season, losing two home games, both closely contested by four points in the first and eight in the second. The teams last met on June 12, where Reese scored 20 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the Sky's loss.
The Connecticut Sun have alternated between wins and losses over their past seven games, with four victories and three defeats. This inconsistent stretch poses a challenge for a team aspiring to secure the 2-seed in the WNBA playoffs. Currently, they hold a slim half-game lead over the Minnesota Lynx, who sit in third place.
However, the Sun have dominated their matchups with Chicago this season and aim to complete a 3-0 sweep with a win on their home court. In their recent victory over the Sparks, DiJonai Carrington led the Sun with 19 points.
