Chicago Sky Sign WNBA Champion Before Lynx Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky entered the 2025 WNBA All-Star break with a 7-15 record. The team has won four of its last nine games after a 3-10 start, but they still rank 12th in the league in points per game, as well as 10th in points allowed (via Pro Basketball Reference ).
