Chicago Sky

Wine will be part of the most anticipated season in WNBA history.

Angel Reese is a dream come true for a Chicago Sky franchise that’s always struggled to garner attention.

WNBA player Isabelle Harrison of the Chicago Sky put in an appearance Aug. 3 at The Athlete's Foot in Gurnee.

“I thought that was really cool because I’ve been following them for a long time. I loved watching them celebrate,” said Addie Johnson, of Marengo, who’s been playing since she was five.

Allie Quigley scored 26 points and Candace Parker added 16 points, 13 rebounds and five assists to help the Chicago Sky win the WNBA championship Sunday with a 80-74 victory over the Phoenix Mercury.

Kahleah Copper scored 20 of her 22 points in the first half and Chicago used a dominant defensive effort to reach a record rout of the Phoenix Mercury 86-50, moving the Sky one victory away from the franchise’s first WNBA title
