Another loss to the Fever. Courtney Vandersloot’s injured. Can the Chicago Sky recover?

WNBA Season

Tip-Off

CHICAGO – Hours before the Chicago Sky took the floor in the first WNBA game played at the United Center, Courtney Vandersloot reflected on what the moment would mean.

“It’s incredible for us to be able to play in an arena like this,” said Vandersloot, the Sky’s captain who is in her 13th season with the franchise.

When her name was called out last as part of the Sky’s pregame introductions, the franchise-record crowd of 19,496 gave a roaring ovation for the player who helped bring the team its only championship, along with her more than 2,000 assists and 3,700 points.
