Chicago Sky 2023 season: 18–22, scoring 81.7 points per game and allowing 83.4 (-1.6 average margin) across 40 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
Scouting report
The Sky finished 18–22, 8th in the league standings, with a -2.1 net rating that ranked 8th of 12. They were balanced rather than dominant anywhere — 6th on offense, 7th on defense. Nothing jumped off the page as a strength, and the weak spot was getting to the free-throw line (19.8 attempts, 12th). Kahleah Copper (18.7 ppg) and Marina Mabrey (15) carried the scoring load between them, though the on/off numbers point to Elizabeth Williams as the one they can least afford to lose — +8.8 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 3-game winning streak (Jun 28–Jul 2) and a 27-point rout of the Fever on Sep 5. The lows: a 6-game losing streak (Jun 9–Jun 25) and a 24-point loss at the Sun on Jun 25. They went 5–9 against teams at .500 or better and 6–3 in games decided by five or fewer. Bottom line: a middle-of-the-pack team held back by a lack of free throws — good enough to beat anyone on a given night, not consistent enough to be feared.
