The Chicago Sky are set to play their first back-to-back of the WNBA season on Sunday, following a blowout 107–86 loss to the Phoenix Mercury on Saturday that dropped them to 3–9 on the year.
Now, they’ll hit the road to face the Atlanta Dream, who defeated the Sky 88–70 on June 13 and currently sit at 9–4—second place in the Eastern Conference.
Ahead of Sunday’s matchup, some concern emerged regarding Sky forward Angel Reese, who was listed as a game-time decision due to a leg injury. However, after going through pregame warmups, the team announced that Reese is available to play.
