As the All-Star Game nears, we are at the point of the season when the contenders begin to separate from the pretenders. We are also at the point of the year when seats may start to get hot.
The Sky were in the headlines once again this week after star Skylar Diggins took to social media to vent about the decision to have her come off the bench moving forward. Chicago coach Tyler Marsh said on Monday that it was his decision and that the conversations he and Diggins have had will stay between them. It’s one thing for a winning team to have dysfunction spill over into public view; however, Chicago is struggling, holding a 6–14 record. The Sky’s middling on-court performance could be the kiss of death for Marsh, especially if he’s lost the locker room.
