Chicago Sky 2021 season: 16–16, scoring 83.3 points per game and allowing 81.9 (+1.3 average margin) across 32 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
Scouting report
The Sky finished 16–16, 6th in the league standings, with a +1.5 net rating that ranked 6th of 12. They were balanced rather than dominant anywhere — 7th on offense, 6th on defense. Scoring was spread around — Kahleah Copper led at 14.4 a game, but no one accounted for more than 17% of the points, though the on/off numbers point to Allie Quigley as the one they can least afford to lose — +9.8 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 7-game winning streak (Jun 9–Jun 24) and a 32-point rout of the Storm on Aug 29. The lows: a 7-game losing streak (May 23–Jun 5) and a 33-point loss to the Aces on Sep 17. They went 7–7 against teams at .500 or better and 3–6 in games decided by five or fewer. Bottom line: a solid playoff-caliber team.
