The Chicago Sky is on fire and fans are counting down the days until the WNBA season tips off. After sweeping their first two preseason games, the team is in unstoppable form. With solid play and promising chemistry on the court, the Sky is ready to light up the league.
However, they lost their undefeated streak on Saturday, falling 92-87 to the Minnesota Lynx in their final preseason game before the start of the season.
Despite not finishing the preseason undefeated, the feeling is positive and the Sky will be a headache for their rivals, just like they were last season. It’s true that they lost, but it feels like it was a very close game and the score says it all.
All eyes and pressure will be on Angel Reese, who is already handling it very well and is ready to start a new season in the WNBA.

However, it wasn’t all good news for the Chicago Sky as they had to release three players from their contracts due to WNBA rules.
“The Chicago Sky have waived Morgan Bertsch, Alex Wilson and Jessika Carter,” wrote Karli Bell on X. “This means that rookie Maddy Westbeld has made the 2025 roster.”

The Chicago Sky have decided to keep rookies Maddy Westbeld and Hailey Van Lith on the roster after recent moves.
The departure of Bertsch, Willson and Carter was expected after coach Tyler Marsh opted not to play them in the final preseason game, calling it a “technical decision”. The only exception was Courtney Vandersloot, who did not play due to a rib injury.
