Connecticut Sun (2-9) at Chicago Sky (3-6) — Game Preview
The Connecticut Sun visit the Chicago Sky at Wintrust Arena on a Friday night that finds both clubs trying to push out of an early hole. The Sky have been the more productive offense to this point, averaging 81.6 points per game to the Sun’s 75.5, and the gap between the two free-throw lines tells a similar story. Skylar Diggins is running a depleted Chicago backcourt as the team’s leading active scorer at 14.1 points and 5.0 assists a night, with Kamilla Cardoso anchoring the interior at 12.8 points and 10.0 rebounds per game.
On the visiting side, Aneesah Morrow has emerged as the rebounding heartbeat of the roster at 10.4 boards a game while chipping in 12.7 points. Saniya Rivers handles primary playmaking for Connecticut at 3.5 assists across 24.4 minutes, leaning on her length to create looks the Sun’s half-court offense has otherwise struggled to find. Both teams arrive thinned out by injuries, which makes the matchup as much about rotations and minutes as it is about styles.

Players to Watch: Connecticut Sun vs. Chicago Sky
Connecticut Sun
Aneesah Morrow — F. Morrow is the Sun’s leading rebounder at 10.4 per game while adding 12.7 points on 43.2 percent shooting from the floor. Her work on the offensive glass jumps off the page, with 3.0 of those boards coming on the offensive end and 7.4 on the defensive side, a split that has kept Connecticut alive on possessions where the half-court offense stalls.
Saniya Rivers — G. Rivers is the Sun’s primary playmaker, distributing 3.5 assists in 24.4 minutes a night. With 1.9 turnovers per game, the second-year guard is still tightening the assist-to-turnover gap, but she remains the connector who keeps the Connecticut backcourt organized, especially with Aaliyah Edwards’ frontcourt status uncertain.
Hailey Van Lith — G. Van Lith has been a quietly efficient piece of the Sun rotation, averaging 8.1 points across 17.6 minutes while shooting 49.2 percent from the field. The eye-catcher is her three-point line at 47.1 percent, paired with an 83.3 percent mark from the stripe, both numbers that comfortably outpace the Sun’s team-wide 26.1 percent from deep and 67.5 percent at the line.
Chicago Sky
Skylar Diggins — G. The former All-Star has taken the wheel of Chicago’s depleted backcourt, putting up 14.1 points and 5.0 assists in 29.6 minutes a night as the lead scorer and lead distributor on the floor. Her 76.3 percent free-throw mark is the cleanest in the Sky’s primary lineup, and a 1.5 turnover average against her 5.0 assists has helped steady a group that lost Courtney Vandersloot for the year.
Kamilla Cardoso — C. Cardoso anchors the Chicago interior at 10.0 rebounds per game, with a 6.8-to-3.2 defensive-to-offensive split that mirrors the role she has grown into as the team’s frontcourt centerpiece. With injuries cutting through the Sky’s wing depth, the second-year center is asked to swallow up minutes inside on both ends.
Natasha Cloud — G. Cloud rounds out the Sky’s perimeter group at 9.5 points, 4.3 assists, and 4.0 rebounds in 28.3 minutes a night, a high-usage workload that reflects how thin Chicago’s guard rotation has become. The 44.3 percent shooting figure is on the efficient side for a primary ball-handler, even with the assist-to-turnover ratio sitting closer to even than the Sky would like at 4.3 assists against 3.0 turnovers.
