The Chicago Sky’s 2025 season was marred by injuries and intermittent struggles to execute in half-court sets. But amid those challenges, a number of role players quietly stood out and kept the team afloat. Stephen PridGeon-Garner shines a spotlight on unsung contributors like Elizabeth Williams, Rachel Banham, Michaela Onyenwere, Kia Nurse, and Angel Reese. Tune in as we reflect on the 2025 WNBA season and celebrate the strength in depth of the Sky’s roster. Follow the show on Twitter at @CHGO_Sky, and follow Stephen @StephenPG3.

Plenty of news came out regarding the views of where the Chicago Sky are, from Angel Reese’s perspective last week. The perspectives shared resulted in her being suspended for a half of a game for “statements detrimental to the team.” Was she in the right? Who was she really speaking to in that moment? Stephen PridGeon-Garner is here with Brian Teague, owner of Chicago State of Mind Sports (@ChiStateOfMind_)

In a season that came with expectations of growth, that was quickly met with injury adversity-galore, the Chicago Sky have found themselves seemingly chasing the season in a few respects.

Albeit a change of course or approach on that front, the season is NOT a lost one.

That largely rests on the shoulders of their Skyscraping Sophomores, and Stephen PridGeon-Garner is here to detail just why he believes this.

The Chicago Sky saw Angel Reese return to play on Tuesday vs Seattle, after a 7-game stretch where they went 1-6 without her. Immediately upon return, the Sky scored their most points since June 29th — no coincidence. As they mesh back together with a hopeful stint of sustained good health, Stephen PridGeon-Garner is back with the latest episode of CHGO Sky to detail her return, the impact of it, and what it signals for the Sky in their 2025 season.

The Chicago Sky are still battling injuries and adversity, but one bright spot since the All-Star break has been Kamilla Cardoso’s rapid rise. Her poise, work ethic, and development have shined even during the team’s struggles, proving she’s stepping into her own as a future cornerstone. Stephen PridGeon-Garner (@StephenPG3) is joined by Tramaine Griffin of ChiCitySports.com to break down what Cardoso’s ascent means for the Sky’s future, plus an update on Ajsa Sivka’s performance with the Slovenian national team and more WNBA insights.

The Chicago Sky came into the 2025 WNBA season with mild expectations of making the playoffs. They had two top-7 picks of the high-profile 2024 WNBA Draft, brought Courtney Vandersloot back, and also brought in a cast of capable two-way veterans that improved the spacing and shifted the context of play they’d be able to evolve into — starting with Ariel Atkins.

That latter portion was a bet on themselves in a way that suggested they had plans to compete for one of the back-end playoff spots, ascending from having just missed the playoffs (largely due to late season injuries) that plagued them at the end of last season.

Were these moves just? Is this where the team is “supposed to be” in their process as they work to climb back into the thick of the WNBA? Who’s to be held most accountable for the ways in which things have developed following the 2023 WNBA season? Were the ranks of WNBA franchises just for where the Sky came in?

Additionally, what have been the assessments of Kamilla Cardoso in the 2025 season so far?

Stephen PridGeon-Garner is back with the latest episode of the CHGO Sky podcast, joined by creator and owner of Chicago State of Mind Sports — Brian Teague.

Dive into the details of all above, with these two as they assess the lay of the land in Sky Town so far in the 2025 season! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

Though the record hadn’t shown it of late, the Chicago Sky (7-16) had certainly been building out some confidence in process collectively.

That was not quite the case tonight in Minnesota to start the second half of the season. After a hot start to the game, where this one was played on the Sky’s terms, they got out to a 24-18 lead through the first quarter.

However, that work would be undone by way of a(nother) untimely barrage of turnovers both to close the first and throughout the second quarter. In the second, while dealing with early foul trouble from Kamilla Cardoso, they would also see seven total — three from Cardoso and four from Reese — that almost all ended up in points for the Lynx.

Through the middle quarters, the Sky would be outscored 52-26 as the Sky lost their flow and control of the game, succumbing to multiple double-digit Lynx runs that pinned the Sky down by 20, sending this one essentially out of reach.

What can the Sky do better? Is improvement likely to be see, and to what extent will we see it if so? Stephen PridGeon-Garner and Quita Loves Sports dive into all of that for this POSTGAME episode of the CHGO Sky Podcast.
