The Chicago Sky faced an important test Thursday: Can this new-look roster withstand the absence of Kahleah Copper?
Copper was sidelined for undisclosed personal reasons, hyping her team from the sideline in street clothes in a rare absence that coach James Wade said he expects to be temporary.
Without Copper, the offensive answer for the Sky came in immediate form of guards Marina Mabrey and Dana Evans, who combined for 43 of the team’s 53 second-half points in a last-second 92-90 loss to the Indiana Fever.
