Skylar Diggins out for Chicago Sky vs Golden State Valkyries
The Story in Brief
The Story in Brief
Chicago Sky guard Skylar Diggins will miss Wednesday's game against the Golden State Valkyries as she recovers from a right knee injury that has sidelined her since July 7. Head coach Tyler Marsh said the 36-year-old remains in Chicago for rehabilitation and is making progress. The Sky have not ruled out her return this season, Marsh said.
Golden State enters the matchup with a 23-9 record and is chasing a fifth straight win. The Sky are 12-21 after dropping a game to Seattle, though DiJonai Carrington scored 26 points off the bench in that loss. Chicago also lost Rickea Jackson for the season to a torn ACL. Valkyries have three players on their injury report.
The Indian Opinion
The WNBA injury news cycle often inflates timelines, but coach Tyler Marsh's cautious optimism here is reasonable: Diggins is rehabbing in Chicago, not shut down, and the Sky have 12-21 record still pushing for a late run. The narrative that Chicago is tanking ignores the gritty win over Seattle and Carrington's 26-point spark. The real test? Whether Diggins returns this season at all, watch for an official update on her knee before the Sky's next home game.
