About the Sky: Chicago lost to San Antonio 79-78 on Friday as Tamera Young’s game-winning jumper missed with two seconds left, resulting in the Sky’s fourth consecutive loss. Reigning league MVP Elena Delle Donne finished with 27 points and nine rebounds, but the Sky sits one loss away from matching their worst six-game start in franchise history. The 6-foot-5 Delle Donne is averaging 20.2 points and 6.4 rebounds this season. The team could be without starting point guard Courtney Vandersloot (ankle) for a fourth consecutive game.

About the Wings: Dallas led by a point at halftime on Friday, but was outscored by 10 in the second half in a 102-93 home loss to Atlanta. Skylar Diggins (knee) played 12 minutes in the home opener but that has been her only action this season. Aerial Powers and Plenette Pierson had 16 points apiece to lead six players in double figures against Atlanta. Courtney Paris finished with 11 points and 14 rebounds, including a league-high eight offensive boards. Paris is second in the league at 11.8 rebounds per game and third in field goal shooting at 58.3 percent.
