On Saturday, the Sky lost by a large margin once again, as they fell 79-52. Making matters worse, star Fever guard Caitlin Clark did not play. She had a triple-double in the season opener.
Not a single Sky play scored in double-figures on Saturday, and the team as a while shot just 32.1% from the field. This loss illuminated some of Chicago's scoring issues this season.
Last season, despite the team finishing with a 13-27 record, guard Chennedy Carter was one of the top scorers in the WNBA at 17.5 points per game, and led Chicago in that category. She is now playing in Mexico after not being on a WNBA roster to begin the 2025 season.

While the contest was still going on, Sky fans began posting all over social media about wanting Carter to return to Chicago amid the team's offensive struggles.
"Chicago Sky need Chennedy Carter 🥴," one fan wrote.
"Kamilla being the top scorer right now on the Sky is crazy," another said. "Smh. Cant believe they got rid of Chennedy."
"The Chicago Sky trading Mabrey last season and not bringing back Chennedy Carter killed any offense they had," a fan chimed in.
"Letting Chennedy go was crazy," a fan posted.

"@chicagosky needs to do better," one fan said. "Get you some people that can score some points. 41 points in 4 quarters is unacceptable! Call chennedy carter some who can score and run the damn floor 🙄."
"The Sky need a PG bc this was an embarrassing loss to the Fever w/o Caitlin Clark at the United Center smh," another wrote. "Just go get Chennedy Carter back, and we will be running like a well oiled machine again."
"@chicagosky y'all need hit up Chennedy Carter and just apologize," another fan chimed in. "Cuz y'all been gettin dragged without her."

Caitlin Clark will miss 5th game with quad strain but could soon start ‘ramping back up'
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Caitlin Clark will sit out a fifth consecutive game with a quadriceps strain when Indiana visits Atlanta on Tuesday, shifting the focus to whether the Fever star will return against the WNBA champion New York Liberty. Indiana coach Stephanie White stopped short Monday of saying Clark had been cleared for basketball activities, saying the club was ready for the reigning Rookie of the Year to start 'ramping back up.' The Fever initially said Clark would miss at least two weeks , and it has been 16 days since Clark was injured in a 90-88 loss to the Liberty . She finished the game, saying later adrenaline likely allowed her to play with the strain. Clark told reporters last week she was targeting a Tuesday return, but said she wouldn't rush it. White reiterated the patience part Monday. The rematch with the Liberty isn't until Saturday at home, which should give Clark some decent practice time. 'We're going to be smart, and we're going to be cautious and we're going to play the long game and work her back in very intentionally,' White said. Clark is averaging 19 points, 9.3 assists and six rebounds in four games this season. This is the first time in her college or pro career that she's missed games. She averaged 19.2 points and a WNBA-leading 8.4 assists as a rookie. The Fever are also without guard Sophie Cunningham, who has been limited to four games by ankle injury. White ruled out Cunningham against the Dream. ___ AP WNBA:
