The Chicago Sky were glad to return to Wintrust Arena on Wednesday night for their home game against the Dallas Wings. It marked the team’s first game in Chicago since hosting the Los Angeles Sparks on June 24, offering fans a much-needed glimpse of their hometown team.

Chicago entered the matchup with a 5-13 record after falling short in a tight road loss to the Washington Mystics on Tuesday, 81-79. The Sky have remained competitive in several games this season but continue to struggle in closing them out.

All eyes were once again on second-year All-Star Angel Reese. After making headlines earlier in the day, she took the court for warmups sporting a new hairstyle and wearing her signature Angel Reese 1 sneakers. The energy from the home crowd noticeably picked up when Reese stepped on the floor.

Reese came into the night chasing her seventh straight double-double. The last time she didn’t post one was June 21 against the Phoenix Mercury. Over her past six games, she has pulled down at least 15 rebounds in each outing, continuing her dominant stretch on the glass.

Chicago also welcomed rookie Kamilla Cardoso back to the lineup. She hadn’t played since June 24 due to international duty with Brazil at the FIBA AmeriCup. 

Cardoso had 27 points and seven rebounds in the last WNBA game she played before leaving for the FIBA AmeriCup. Her presence in the post provides much-needed size and support next to Reese.

The matchup against Dallas kicked off a four-game homestand for the Sky. Once that stretch wraps up, attention will shift to the WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis, where Reese will represent Chicago. The Sky hope to build some momentum before the break and improve their standing in the playoff race.
