In a standout performance, Chicago Sky rookiesAngel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso showcased their growing on-court chemistry during last night’s game against the Washington Mystics. The Sky, with a record of 4-5, triumphed over the league’s worst team, securing a 79-71 victory thanks to Reese’s exceptional play.
Despite the controversy surrounding Reese and the Chicago Sky following the heated game against the Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark last Saturday-marked by a notable shoulder check to Clark. Reese has continued to demonstrate her vast potential. Her teammate, Kamilla Cardoso, who was selected earlier in the draft (3rd overall) and is a two-time NCAA champion with the South Carolina Gamecocks, also shone brightly.
Reese and Cardoso, particularly Reese, excelled against the Mystics. Several plays, culminating in assists from Cardoso and points for Reese, highlighted their strong understanding and growing chemistry, which is expected to improve as the season progresses.
This dynamic duo has the potential to achieve great things, given their high draft selections and impressive skills. Reese delivered her best professional game yet, recording a double-double with 16 points, 11 rebounds, 5 steals, and 3 assists.
This performance made her the first rookie since 2008 to achieve 15+ points, 10+ rebounds, and 5+ steals in a game, a feat last accomplished by Tamika Catchings with Indiana.
Kamilla + Angel CONNECTION 🔥
This is the move 😤

Such rookie connections and veteran-like performances are undoubtedly something Caitlin Clark would envy in Indiana. Clark’s rough start, with a 2-9 record for the Fever, contrasts sharply with Reese and Cardoso’s success even they also have a losing record with 4-5.
Indiana has a prime opportunity to boost their confidence tonight 6:30pm ET against the winless Mystics who are playing in back-to-back games. This game could serve as a crucial momentum builder before their challenging Monday matchup against Connecticut sun, the league’s top team, which previously welcomed Clark to the league with a tough game.
Angel Reese tonight 🔥
– 16 points
– 11 rebounds– 5 STEALS
– 3 assists— Women’s Hoops Network (@WomensHoops_USA) June 7, 2024
As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on Reese and Cardoso, whose synergy could propel the Chicago Sky to new heights and can achieve back-to-back wins for the second time this season as they play against the Atlanta Dream tomorrow. Their performance against the Mystics is just a glimpse of the potential this rookie duo holds for the future.
Kelsey Plum and Darren Waller File for Divorce After 1 Year of Marriage
WNBA champion Kelsey Plum and NFL tight end Darren Waller filed for divorce after one year of marriage. In April, the WNBA star and New York Giants tight end filed a joint petition for divorce in Clark County, Nevada.
Just after the filing, Plum shared a heartbreaking message on social media. “I’m devastated. I walked through fire for that man, but now I see it’s time to go,” she wrote on Instagram Stories.
“God has given me an incredible life, and I’m truly so grateful for the profound love from my family and friends,” the Las Vegas Aces star continued.
“One day, I’ll share my story; today is not that day. Thank you for the grace to process my pain, to forgive and move forward. Today and everyday I will continue to choose joy. Much love, KP.”
Waller, a former player for the Las Vegas Raiders, and Plum, a two-time WNBA champion with the Aces, started dating. It is said that they dated for almost a year prior to getting married on March 4, 2023.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal claims that on January 22, 2023, Plum and Waller submitted an application for a marriage license.
Waller was traded to the New York Giants shortly after their marriage. Many believed former head coach Josh McDaniels did this on purpose since he wasn’t invited to the wedding.
