The Chicago Sky are hoping to escape the grip of a four-game losing streak Sunday when they host the Connecticut Sun.
Chicago (12-19) dropped a 78-67 decision to the Atlanta Dream on the road Friday. The Sky’s playoff hopes continue to fade for a team that won a championship two years ago and made the postseason in 2022.
The Sky are battling with the Los Angeles Sparks for the final playoff spot. Chicago will face a tough test against the Sun (21-10), who are firmly in the playoffs as the third overall seed at the moment.
But like the Sky, the Sun are hoping to get on track again after losing three in a row — including a 95-75 decision to the Dallas Wings on Friday.
Alyssa Thomas will be looked upon as a player to help the Sun right the ship.
Thomas has five triple-doubles this season, the most in league history in a single season, and is averaging 15.3 points and 10.1 rebounds per game. She collected 15 points and 10 boards in Friday’s loss to the Wings.
Teammate Ty Harris is impressed with what Thomas does on the basketball court.
The Sky, who have lost twice to the Sun already this season, are opening a three-game homestand on Sunday.
