The Chicago Sky visit the Connecticut Sun on Sunday in the 2025 WNBA Commissioner’s Cup. The Sky and the Sun have identical 2-7 season records, tied for 11th in the WNBA standings.
The Sky have lost their last three games after beating the Dallas Wings twice. Meanwhile, the Suns have gained momentum after a horrendous five-game losing streak to start the season, winning two of their last four games.
Chicago is 1-5 in road games this season, while the Sun are 1-3 at home. In the Commissioner's Cup, the Sky are yet to win a game, going 0-3, while the Sun are 1-2.
The Sky are led by Ariel Atkins, who put up 13.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.8 steals per game. Angel Reese is also a key cog for Chicago, averaging a double-double of 10.3 points and 11.8 rebounds per game.
Meanwhile, Marina Mabrey has led the charge for the Sun, averaging 17.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. She's followed by Tina Charles, who's recording 16.6 points per game and is the only other double-digit scorer for Connecticut this season.
A win will lift the Sun to the lower end of the standings as they continue their hunt for a playoff spot early in the WNBA season.
