Chicago Sky Make Angel Reese Move After Kamilla Cardoso News
Chicago Sky Make Angel Reese Move After Kamilla Cardoso News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky endured an 0-4 start to the 2025 WNBA season, but they won two straight games ahead of the Commissioner's Cup. Advertisement After double-digit losses to the Indiana Fever, New York Liberty and Los Angeles Sparks in the opening week, they rebounded with a close loss to the 5-3 Phoenix Mercury and consecutive victories against the Dallas Wings. Second-year center Kamilla Cardoso has been contributing 11.3 points and 6.5 rebounds per game for the Sky, including a career-high 23 points in the team's first win of the season. Unfortunately for Chicago, Cardoso was included in Brazil's AmeriCup roster, which means that she could miss time this season (via Roberta F. Rodrigues of The Next). Chicago Sky guard Rebecca Allen (9), guard Ariel Atkins (7), guard Courtney Vandersloot (22), center Kamilla Cardoso (10), and forward Angel Reese (5).Patrick Gorski-Imagn Images Fellow 2024 first-round draftee and WNBA All-Star forward Angel Reese has gotten off to a rough start in 2025, but she is still averaging 10.0 points and a league-leading 12.3 rebounds per game. Advertisement Reese typically plays the power forward position alongside Cardoso, who plays center. However, the Sky made a move in practice on Thursday to get Reese reps at the five with Cardoso watching from the sidelines. "Also have Rebecca Allen in with the starters instead of Kamilla Cardoso, leading Angel to playing the 5," Sky reporter Karli Bell wrote. Cardoso did not participate in the portion of practice that was open to the media. While it was initially unclear if that was planned in order to get some practice reps in preparation for her eventual absence, it was revealed by head coach Tyler Marsh that Cardoso is day-to-day with shoulder soreness (via Chicago State of Mind Sports). Advertisement The Sky host the Fever on Saturday at United Center in Chicago to kick off their slate of Commissioner's Cup games. Chicago will look to avenge its 93-58 loss on opening day. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. EST.

Tarik Skubal stars as the Tigers top the Cubs 3-1 in a matchup of division leaders
DETROIT (AP) — Tarik Skubal pitched one-run ball into the eighth inning, and Detroit Tigers beat the Chicago Cubs 3-1 on Friday night in the opener of a weekend series between two of the majors' best teams. Skubal (6-2) allowed eight hits, struck out six and walked none in 7 2/3 innings. In his past 11 starts, the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner is 6-0 with a 1.61 ERA, 95 strikeouts and three walks. Skubal left with runners on the corners, then had to wait out a dramatic moment. Seiya Suzuki lifted a deep flyball to right off Will Vest, but Kerry Carpenter reached above the wall to keep Detroit in front. Vest got four outs for his 10th save. Cubs right-hander Ben Brown (3-4) permitted two runs and seven hits in seven innings. Spencer Torkelson and Jahmai Jones homered for the AL Central-leading Tigers. The Tigers jumped in front in the fifth on an RBI single by Gleyber Torres, but the NL Central-leading Cubs responded with Kyle Tucker's run-scoring double in the sixth. That ended Skubal's scoreless streak at 20 innings, matching his career high. Torkelson made it 2-1 when he connected for his 15th homer in the bottom half. Jones went deep in the eighth in his Tigers debut, belting a pinch-hit drive off Génesis Cabrera. The game, attended by a large contingent of Cubs fans, drew a crowd of 40,132 for the third sellout at Comerica Park this season.
