Four of the Chicago Sky’s starting five scored in double figures Saturday against the New York Liberty. Center Sylvia Fowles had 15 points, forward Swin Cash 13 and guards Epiphanny Prince and Courtney Vandersloot 11 each. That would mean rookie Elena Delle Donne — who had 23 points in a victory Thursday vs. the Liberty […]
This season has hardly been a piece of cake for the Chicago Sky. Yes, the team is off to an 11-4 start and leads the Eastern Conference, as the Sky seeks its first postseason presence in franchise history. And, yes, this appears to be the most talented team in franchise history. But the reality is […]
Night and day, you are the one, Elena Delle Donne. During the day, the rookie forward led the Chicago Sky to a 75-55 victory against the New York Liberty on Thursday (July 18) at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.

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 […]

Judging by Monday’s Phoenix Mercury-Chicago Sky game, it appears clear rookie Brittney Griner will lead the Mercury — and the WNBA — in dunks and multiple-dunk contests.
