Chicago Sky Starter Gets Benched Against Lynx

Sunday's contest against the 16-2 Minnesota Lynx will feature their fifth different lineup in the last 10 games, as coach Marsh made another change just before the game.

Against the Lynx, fifth-year forward Michaela Onyenwere will start in place of Rebecca Allen, who had started nine straight games for the Sky before Sunday's contest against Minnesota.

"Your starting 5️⃣!" the Sky wrote.

Allen has played in all 16 of the team's games this season, averaging 5.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 20.5 minutes per game. The 10-year veteran will now come off the bench for the first time since June 7 against the Fever.

Onyenwere will be starting her second contest of the season for Chicago, as well as her second in the last three games. She has averaged 4.3 points, 1.1 assists and 1.1 rebounds per contest this season in 12.6 minutes per night.

The last time that Onyenwere started, she replaced Cardoso, who had just left the Sky to fulfill her overseas commitment. Now, she will start in place of Allen against the Lynx.
