Cardoso finished the game with 17 points and three rebounds. The Sky center shot 77.8% from the field, finding incredible success inside the painted area.

Several other Chicago Sky players also posted credible numbers, such as Michaela Onyenwere, Ariel Atkins and Kia Nurse.

The Chicago Sky will have a quick turnaround after their matchup against the Phoenix Mercury, set to face the Atlanta Dream at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday.
Chicago has certainly struggled under Marsh, but only time will tell if the Sky can connect the dots and make a run at the postseason.
They're currently 11th in the WNBA standings, two games behind the Las Vegas Aces (5-7) for the eighth and final playoff spot.

Embattled NFLPA head Lloyd Howell announces resignation
NFLPA executive director Lloyd Howell announced his resignation on Thursday after a week of criticism over his leadership and past, via a statement released by the union. NFLPA executive director Lloyd Howell's full resignation statement Two years ago, I accepted the role of Executive Director of the NFLPA because I believe deeply in the mission of this union and the power of collective action to drive positive change for the players of America's most popular sport. Our members deserve a union that will fight relentlessly for their health, safety, financial futures, and long-term well-being. My priority has been to lead that fight by serving this union with focus and dedication. It's clear that my leadership has become a distraction to the important work the NFLPA advances every day. For this reason, I have informed the NFLPA Executive Committee that I am stepping down as Executive Director of the NFLPA and Chairman of the Board of NFL Players effective immediately. I hope this will allow the NFLPA to maintain its focus on its player members ahead of the upcoming season. I am proud of what we have been able to accomplish at the NFLPA over the past two years. I will be rooting for the players from the sidelines as loud as ever, and I know the NFLPA will continue to ensure that players remain firmly at the center of football's future.

Seahawks and Nick Emmanwori agree to historic fully-guaranteed contract
History has been made in the Pacific Northwest and a potential holdout is now officially avoided. Late on Thursday evening, the Seattle Seahawks and rookie safety Nick Emmanwori agreed to a fully-guaranteed contract per ESPN's Adam Schefter. For the first time ever, the No. 35 overall pick in a draft will be receiving fully-guaranteed money on his rookie deal. Emmanwori was the next critical domino to fall when it came to all the unsigned second round picks from the 2025 NFL draft. The Houston Texans made the first move by giving their second round selection Jayden Higgins (No. 34) a fully-guaranteed contract, and the Browns followed suit with Carson Schwesinger (No. 33). For the first time in NFL history, the first three picks of the second round have all received fully-guaranteed rookie contracts. With Emmanwori now the third rookie to get such a deal, I would not be surprised if this set off a chain reaction across the league as teams have lost even further leverage in negotiations with their own unsigned second rounders... especially since we're into training camp season. The CBA prohibits rookies from participating in training camp if they are unsigned, and since training camps have either started for teams (or just their rookies) or are on the very near horizon, the time to get these deals done is now. Seattle's training camp officially opens on July 23rd, but rookies were supposed to report on July 15th. Emmanwori missed the first two practices, but will likely be on the field as quickly as Friday once his contract is signed. Tight end Elijah Arroyo, the Seahawks' other second round pick, remains unsigned as of now. I would not be surprised if the Miami Hurricane also finds himself with a fully-guaranteed deal.
