The Chicago Sky lost its first home game of the season. Of possibly greater significance, Elena Delle Donne lost the luster that came with being the leading vote-getter for the WNBA all-star game, rookie of the month for June and Eastern Conference player of the week (June 24-30). All that and more was packed into […]

Monday meanderings: And you probably thought the fast pace of hockey came on the ice. Who knew it came after a Stanley Cup championship and in the executive offices?

The Chicago Sky rookie had 16 points on 6-of-6 shooting from the field (including two three-point shots and a pair of free throws). That performance helped rally the Sky from an early double-digit deficit for an 87-74 victory against the New […]
