The Chicago Sky are facing a major challenge with the season-ending wrist injury of their rookie star, Angel Reese, who led the league in rebounds and played the most minutes for the team. Reese will miss the rest of the season due to a hairline fracture and will undergo surgery with an expected return by late November or December.
In her absence, veteran Isabelle Harrison will take over as the starting power forward. While Harrison brings a different skill set, her experience and shooting ability offer valuable contributions to the team.
The Sky could potentially sign a replacement player due to another injury to starting center Elizabeth Williams, but they may choose not to add anyone with only five games remaining and a current strong performance.
Despite the setback, the Sky are still in the playoff hunt, holding the final spot and needing to adjust their strategy, particularly with Kamilla Cardoso stepping up and possibly using a smaller lineup. Making the playoffs would be a valuable experience for their young roster and could help them secure a high draft pick for future growth.
