The Dallas Wings and Chicago Sky compete in the WNBA on May 20, 2026, with the Wings winning 99-89. After both teams finished at the bottom of last season's standings, their offseasons led to contrasting results. The Wings started the season 2-2 before their win against Chicago, while the Sky began 3-1 but have since struggled with a significant injury to key player Rickea Jackson. Recent changes in Chicago's roster, including the return of Courtney Vandersloot, have not stabilized their performance, leading to a six-game losing streak.
