Through the first 20% of the WNBA season there are a bunch of teams that have struggled out of the gate.

New York, off to its best start in franchise history, scored the first 12 points of the game and cruised from there.

The Chicago Sky were in the Big Apple on Tuesday night for a matchup against the defending WNBA champion and undefeated New York Liberty. Led by Sabrina Ionescu

In February, the Sky acquired Atkins from Washington in exchange for Sonia Citron, a 2027 first-round swap and a 2027 second-round pick

Sky guard Courtney Vandersloot is out for the rest of the season with an ACL injury, and she has the support of her WNBA peers.

Under first-year head coach Tyler Marsh, the Sky entered Tuesday night’s trip to Brooklyn with a 2-5 record, the third-worst mark in the WNBA . As the team continues to find its footing on the court, Tuesday brought another twist off the court as former Sky sharpshooter Allie Quigley announced her retirement from the league.

There is little doubt that Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is quickly ascending to become one of the top players in the WNBA. Chicago Sky star Angel Reese is developing in her own right in her second season in the league, but perhaps not at the same rate as Clark.
