Seattle Storm are looking to turn the page after a disappointing 87-63 loss to the Dallas Wings on Tuesday, and they’ve received a significant injection of talent ahead of their Thursday showdown against the Chicago Sky at Wintrust Arena. Seven-time All-Star Skylar Diggins is set to return to action after a personal reason sidelined her for the game against Dallas.
Diggins, who registered the first triple-double in WNBA All-Star Game history on Saturday, was unexpectedly out. However, she’s no longer listed on Seattle’s injury report for the Thursday game, suggesting she’ll be back in the starting lineup. This addition is a crucial development for the Storm, currently sporting a 14-10 record.
Diggins’ return comes amid uncertainty for the Sky, as star forward Angel Reese has been added to the injury report with a back problem. Reese, who missed Chicago’s last game before the All-Star break due to a leg injury, is listed as questionable to play. While she looked fine in Chicago’s 91-68 loss to the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday – posting an 11-point, 11-rebound double-double – her current status is a concern.
Adding to the Storm’s challenges, forwards Michaela Onyenwere (knee) and Ariel Atkins (leg) are also ruled out for the game. This significantly shortens Chicago’s roster, intensifying the potential impact of Reese’s status.
The matchup promises to be pivotal for both teams, with speculation regarding Reese and Diggins’ availability adding an extra layer of intrigue. Fans can expect a competitive battle, especially considering recent highlights, such as the recent buckets and Gucci outfits traded between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.
