The Sun look to regain momentum against the Sky in their third matchup of the year.
The Connecticut Sun head to Wintrust Arena on Thursday night for their third meeting of the season with the Chicago Sky, as both teams look to build momentum during the second half of the WNBA season.
The season series is tied 1-1 after the teams split their first two matchups. Chicago claimed the opener before Connecticut responded with a commanding victory in the rematch, setting the stage for another competitive contest.
The Sun enter Thursday looking to rebound after falling to the Washington Mystics in their most recent outing. Despite the loss, rookie forward Aneesah Morrow continued to impress, recording another strong offensive performance while providing her usual energy on the glass. Connecticut will once again rely on its young core to set the tone as it searches for its first win of the road trip.
Chicago will look to defend its home court behind standout center Kamilla Cardoso, whose size and rebounding continue to be a major factor for the Sky. Alongside Cardoso, the Sky’s young roster has shown flashes of promise throughout the season and will aim to use its physicality to slow Connecticut’s frontcourt.
Players to Watch
Aneesah Morrow, Connecticut Sun: Morrow has quickly become one of Connecticut’s most consistent contributors. Her ability to score in transition, attack the boards, and create second-chance opportunities makes her a player Chicago will need to contain.
Kamilla Cardoso, Chicago Sky: Cardoso anchors the Sky in the paint on both ends of the floor. If she controls the rebounding battle and protects the rim, Chicago will have a strong chance to come away with the win.
