PHILADELPHIA — Chicago Sky guard Kahleah Copper didn’t have much time to process the 72-63 loss against the Connecticut Sun in Game 5 of the WNBA semifinals on Sept. 8.
Instead, she had to figure out a plan with USA Basketball on how she was getting to Sydney, Australia, to play in the FIBA World Cup.
Following the Sky’s season-ending defeat, Copper quickly packed up her belongings and flew from Chicago to her hometown in Philly in less than 24 hours before getting on a flight to Australia.
