Chicago Sky launching investigation after WNBA incident
The Chicago Sky defeated the Golden State Valkyries 73-70 on Friday. It was an huge win over the No. 2 team in the WNBA standings and extended their winning streak to three games. However, a particular incident in the third quarter grabbed a lot of attention, prompting an investigation.
Fans threw multiple obscene objects on the court at WinTrust Arena. The game was delayed and the spotlight was stolen in what should’ve been a statement win for the home team capped by Sydney Taylor’s game-winning three.
The undrafted guard knocked down a triple with 1.6 seconds remaining to push Chicago to victory. Her clutch basket spoiled Golden State’s 21-point comeback and improved her team’s record to 15-22 for the season. Taylor finished with 14 points to back Natasha Cloud’s 17 points and seven rebounds, and Kamilla Cardoso’s 14-point, 10-rebound double-double. Meanwhile, Laeticia Amihere led the Valkyries with 16 points and six rebounds.

The franchise will likely release more updates in the coming days as it continues the investigation. Chicago is enjoying its best run this season. While it’s unlikely that the team will reach the playoffs, it is finishing the regular season on a high note. The Dallas Wings lead the Sky by six games for eighth place with seven games remaining on the schedule.
