The Sky have two players listed on their injury report as they have ruled out Skylar Diggins and Rickea Jackson.
Chicago has ruled out Diggins due to a right knee injury that has sidelined her since July 7 and there is still no timetable for her return.
The Sky have also ruled out Jackson as she will miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL.
The good news for the Sky is that DiJonai Carrington is off the injury report completely after she returned from a one-game absence due to a left foot injury in Sunday’s loss.
