The Chicago Sky earned a 2-4 record through the first month of the 2025 WNBA season, placing them in fifth place in the Eastern Conference.

A 93 to 58 loss to the Indiana Fever on opening day kickstarted a four-game losing streak to begin the season, but the Sky responded with two straight wins against the Dallas Wings last week. After giving up 90 points or more in five consecutive games to begin the year, they held on for a 94 to 83 win last Saturday.

Now, the Sky will kick off their slate of Commissioner's Cup games by hosting the 3-4 Fever on Saturday evening.

2024 WNBA All-Star Angel Reese is averaging a double-double once again this season for the Sky with 10.0-point and 12.3-rebound per game averages. Her rebounds per game are leading the WNBA once again.

The Sky's rematch against the Fever has a bit of a twist, however. Saturday's game will be played at the United Center, home of the NBA's Chicago Bulls. Reese spoke about playing at this historic venue just before tipoff and expressed one desire.

"I think this is gonna be the first of many," Reese said. "We can continue to see this and have all our games at NBA arenas."

In the first matchup between the two teams this season, 2024 First-Team All-WNBA guard Caitlin Clark recorded a 20-point triple-double for the Fever en route to a dominant victory. Reese paced the Sky with 12 points and 17 rebounds.

Saturday's game will be significant for the WNBA standings, as Chicago has a chance to move ahead of the Fever with a win. Moving to 3-4 would also put them into the playoff picture. Tipoff is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. EST.
