The New York Liberty (4-0) will look to continue their impressive winning streak as they face the Chicago Sky (1-1) on Thursday, May 23, 2024, at Barclays Center. The Liberty, aiming to extend their current four-game winning run, will host the Sky in what promises to be an exciting matchup.
Last season, New York showcased their dominance with a 32-8 overall record, including a strong 16-4 performance in Eastern Conference play. They were solid on offense, averaging 89.2 points per game, with 13.8 points from the free-throw line and 33.3 points from three-point range.
As for the Chicago Sky, they had a more challenging season, finishing with an 18-22 overall record and a 5-15 record in Eastern Conference games. Despite the struggles, the Sky managed to average 81.7 points per game, shooting more than 44 percent from the field and an impressive 37.2 percent from beyond the arc.
Meanwhile, Kamilla Cardoso, the No. 3 pick in the recent WNBA draft, will be out for at least four to six weeks due to a shoulder injury. Initially, the Chicago Sky announced that Cardoso would miss Tuesday night's home exhibition against the New York Liberty. However, the team later confirmed that she would be sidelined indefinitely and re-evaluated in up to six weeks.
Cardoso's injury is a significant setback for the Sky, who were counting on her and Angel Reese, the No. 7 overall pick, to strengthen their front court.
Both players have quickly become fan favorites as the team looks to rebuild after losing key players from their 2021 WNBA championship-winning squad.
