The Chicago Sky continue to struggle, recently losing to the Indiana Fever, 93-78.

With the loss to the Fever, the Sky have suffered five straight losses on the season and fallen to 7-18, the second-worst record in the WNBA.

Despite their record, the Sky continue to fill the stands. On Monday, Chicago announced online that the game against Indiana drew the largest crowd in Sky history: 19,601.

The Sky mentioned the previous record for largest crowd (19,496) was set against the Indiana Fever earlier this season.

"Skytown," posted the official social media account of the Chicago Sky. "Breaking records."

In the most recent contest between the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever, both teams were playing without their star players, Caitlin Clark for Indiana and Angel Reese for Chicago.

Clark has played in only 13 games this season while dealing with several injuries during her second year in the WNBA.

Reese has recently been working through back issues, having been monitored by the Sky ahead of game time to see if she would be active against the Fever.

During her second season in the WNBA, Reese has averaged 13.8 points, 12.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game for the Chicago Sky.

Clark, in 13 games with the Indiana Fever, has averaged 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game.

While both players may be the main attraction in a Fever-Sky contest, but the WNBA's popularity proved strong even without the duo when Chicago's attendance record was released.
