Chicago Sky fans saddened by Hailey Van Lith injury news

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

The Chicago Sky are looking to put another cold shooting night behind them when they play the LA Sparks at 5 p.m. CST on Sunday. The Sky shot just 36.2% in a 99-74 loss to the New York Liberty on Thursday night at Wintrust Arena.

Second-year power forward Angel Reese and rookie Hailey Van Lith combined to go 0-of-12 shooting. All six of their points during the loss came from the free-throw line.

Van Lith, the No. 11 pick in the draft, is shooting 33.3% from the field through the Sky’s first two games, both blowout losses to the Indiana Fever and Liberty.

It remains to be seen if she can improve her stats on Sunday.

Per Karli Bell of Courside KB, Van Lith is questionable to play the Sparks due to an ankle injury. Moriah Jefferson will miss her third contest in a row with a leg injury.

“Chicago Sky status report for their game vs the Los Angeles Sparks on Sunday: Moriah Jefferson (leg) is OUT Hailey Van Lith (ankle) is QUESTIONABLE,” Bell posted on X.

The ankle injury returns?

Van Lith dealt with an ankle injury in the preseason. She was questionable to play the Fever on May 17, but played four minutes off the bench in the Sky’s 93-58 regular-season opening loss. Van Lith was not on the injury report before Chicago’s contest against the Liberty.

Fans on social media were saddened by the news that the ankle issue had returned.

“Tough break for the Sky. @IsaacNelsonX17 your market insights on injury impacts have been clutch—always helps put things in perspective. Hope Van Lith can suit up,” posted another.
