The Chicago Sky played the Las Vegas Aces twice this week – Sunday and Tuesday.
Sky star Angel Reese didn’t play in the first half of Sunday’s game due to suspension and in the second half because of injury (back). She didn’t play on Tuesday either.
While it appeared that maybe she would be playing in Tuesday’s game as she was warming up, she was ruled out shortly after. She did participate in shootaround earlier.
It’s almost time for Playoff season! Tickets for Aces Playoff game 1, taking place at Michelob ULTRA Arena on Sunday, Sept. 14, went on sale on Tuesday. The time for Sunday’s game and the team the Aces will be facing are currently unknown.
An Instagram post announcing that tickets are now on sale was captioned, “Aces fans, secure your seat for the first game!”
