DALLAS — Courtney Vandersloot hadn’t missed a game for the Sky in almost two years. After suffering a concussion in the victory over the Sparks on Thursday, she was forced to sit out Saturday, ending her run of 88 consecutive games played.

Vandersloot wasn’t with the team. Instead, she watched the Sky beat the Wings 89-81 for their fourth straight win from the team’s hotel. Coach/general manager James Wade received a text from her at halftime that read, “Keep pushing the ball in transition.”
