Rickea Jackson - Leads all scorers Friday Jackson finished with 29 points (10-22 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds and three blocks across 32 minutes in Friday's 91-83 loss to Phoenix.

Impact With Skylar Diggins (eye) exiting the contest and not returning, Jackson stepped up to score a season-high 29 points. She also shot 4-for-10 from deep after making only two of her nine attempts from downtown in the first two games of the 2026 campaign. The 25-year-old averaged 14.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.4 blocks over 30.9 minutes in 38 regular-season games with the Sparks in 2025. However, Jackson is off to a strong start with the Sky, so she's trending favorably toward having a career-year.

Skylar Diggins - Won't return versus Phoenix Diggins (eye) won't return to Friday's game against Phoenix. She'll finish with zero points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 12 minutes.

Impact Not only did Diggins have trouble getting her shots to fall, but she also suffered an eye injury late in the first half. There should be an update on her condition by Saturday night, and her next chance to play will come Sunday against Minnesota. If the veteran guard is forced to miss additional time, Natasha Cloud, who started the second half, and Rachel Banham will likely be more involved.

Impact Diggins took a shot to the eye late in the second quarter and exited to the locker room. Natasha Cloud started the second half in Diggins' place, though Rachel Banham and Aicha Coulibaly could also see increased burn the rest of the way.

Impact Westbeld will be available for her 2026 debut after being listed out for the first two games of the regular season while getting back into game shape. She appeared in 26 regular-season games for Chicago in 2025, averaging 4.1 points and 2.4 rebounds in 13.6 minutes per matchup.

Rachel Banham - Plays 12 minutes against Valkyries Banham finished with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one steal across 12 minutes during Wednesday's 69-63 victory over the Valkyries.

Impact Banham has seen relatively consistent playing time off the bench early in the regular season, as she played 15 minutes during Saturday's Opening Night matchup. However, she wasn't very involved when on the court Wednesday, as she managed to record a steal but also had just one field-goal attempt. The 32-year-old started in 33 of her 44 regular-season appearances with the Sky last year, averaging 9.0 points, 2.7 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 24.6 minutes per game, but she's had to settle for less usage early in 2026 after the team acquired Skylar Diggins, Natasha Cloud, Jacy Sheldon and Gabriela Jaquez, while Courtney Vandersloot (knee) and DiJonai Carrington (foot) could also eat away at some of Banham's minutes once they're cleared to return.

Jacy Sheldon - Another double-digit scoring effort Sheldon finished with 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) seven rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block across 31 minutes in Wednesday's 69-63 win over the Valkyries.

Impact Sheldon reached double-digit scoring once again and shot the ball better than she did in the 98-83 win over Portland to start the 2026 campaign. The 25-year-old appeared in 30 regular-season games combined for the Mystics and Sun in 2025, averaging 7.5 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.2 blocks over 23.6 minutes of action. If Sheldon can remain in the starting lineup, she could be on track to have her best season since entering the WNBA.

Skylar Diggins - Another productive game Diggins finished with 15 points (5-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, one steal and two blocks across 34 minutes in Wednesday's 69-63 win over Golden State.

Impact Diggins shot the ball well in the 98-83 win over Portland to begin the 2026 campaign. Although the 34-year-old had a tougher time finding the bottom of the net, she at least made up for it by getting it done on both ends of the floor. Diggins appeared in 43 regular-season games for Seattle in 2025, averaging 15.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks over 31.2 minutes. Despite being in the WNBA for over a decade, she's still producing at an All-Star level and doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon.

Natasha Cloud - Quiet in win over Golden State Cloud (illness) finished with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and four rebounds across 18 minutes in Wednesday's 69-63 win over the Valkyries.

Impact Cloud wasn't available versus Portland to begin the season. While she was able to suit up for this contest, she didn't do much despite leading the bench in minutes. The 34-year-old averaged 10.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.3 blocks across 29.0 minutes in 41 regular-season appearances with the Liberty in 2025. However, unless she sees more action or enters the starting lineup with Chicago, it may be difficult for her to match that level of production.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Rickea Jackson - Leads Sky to win Wednesday Jackson finished with 18 points (6-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one steal and two blocks across 39 minutes in Wednesday's 69-63 win over Golden State.

Impact Jackson played well in the 98-83 win over Portland to begin the year. That trend continued Wednesday, with the 25-year-old posting a well-rounded performance to lead Chicago to another win. Jackson averaged 14.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.4 blocks over 30.9 minutes in 38 regular-season appearances with the Sparks in 2025. However, with a change of scenery, she appears to be well on her way to having the best season since entering the WNBA in 2024.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Natasha Cloud - Available versus Golden State Cloud (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against Golden State.

Impact Cloud didn't suit up for the win over the Fire to begin the 2026 campaign. However, after being listed as questionable for the meeting with the Valkyries, she is now officially cleared to make her first appearance of the season. The 34-year-old appeared in 41 regular-season games for the Liberty in 2025, averaging 10.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.3 blocks over 29.0 minutes. Cloud's availability will presumably mean less work for Jacy Sheldon, Rachel Banham and Gabriela Jaquez.
