Four of the Chicago Sky’s starting five scored in double figures Saturday against the New York Liberty.

Big Game by Fowles Helps Sky Prevail

July 11, 2013

You might say Sylvia Fowles was incredible. Or you might say she left her opponent Wednesday green with envy.

Seattle Storms Past Sky, Stifles Delle Donne

July 3, 2013

The Chicago Sky lost its first home game of the season.

All that and more was packed into […]

Delle Donne Free Throws at :01.8 Beat San Antonio

June 1, 2013

With a game-high 24 points and career-high 22 rebounds for the Chicago Sky in an 86-75 victory against the Connecticut Sun on Friday (May 31), center Sylvia Fowles had one more impressive statistic.

Delle Donne’s Sky Debut Finer Than Griner’s for Mercury

May 28, 2013

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. It also appears clear rookie Elena Delle Donne will be doing some leading, too. The Sky forward/guard from the University of Delaware just might be able to lead […]
