However, despite the loss, rookie Angel Reese extended her double-double streak to 15 consecutive games, showcasing her potential. In addition, dark horse Chennedy Carter displayed her skills in yet another fixture, proving herself as a valuable asset to the team.

After facing challenges early in her career, including a suspension from the Atlanta Dream, Carter eventually found her place with the Chicago Sky under the guidance of Weatherspoon. Despite her tumultuous journey, the 25-year-old has consistently delivered for her team.
