Chicago Sky guard Hailey Van Lith (2) looks to drive past New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu (20) in the first quarter at Barclays Center.

The Chicago Sky needed Hailey Van Lith and Angel Reese to step up on offense after the team announced that Courtney Vandersloot would miss the remainder of the season after suffering a torn ACL during Chicago’s 79-52 loss to the Indian Fever on Saturday.

Rachel Banham filled in as a starter for Vandersloot during Chicago’s contest against the New York Liberty on Tuesday night. Banham went 1-of-6 shooting for three points in the Sky’s 85-66 loss to the Liberty in front of 16,081 fans at Barclays Center.

A better night for Angel Reese

Reese entered the game making under 31% of her shots. She had a better game on offense, going 8-of-13 and 1-of-3 from beyond the arc to score 17 points against New York. She added 11 rebounds, three assists, and two steals, but had five turnovers in the loss.

Van Lith, the No. 11 pick in the 2025 draft, did not have a good night shooting. She went 1-of-5 on the night, scoring five total points and adding two assists and a steal during her 16 minutes on the court.
