Chicago Sky on Wrong End of WNBA History in 38-Point Loss to Storm
Sky Crumbled as Malonga Makes History in Storm Rout
Chicago's Season Hits a New Low with Devastating 38-Point Loss to Seattle.
The Chicago Sky experienced a nightmarish Thursday, suffering their worst defeat of the season – a crushing 95-57 loss to the Seattle Storm. This lopsided result leaves Chicago at a dismal 7-17 halfway through the campaign.
Star player Angel Reese was absent due to a back injury, further compounding Chicago's struggles. The two-time All-Star leads the league in rebounding, and her absence was keenly felt as Seattle dominated the boards, securing 39 rebounds compared to Chicago's 31.
Seattle rookie Dominique Malonga stepped up in a major way, recording a career-high 14 points and 10 rebounds off the bench. This performance not only propelled her team to victory but also etched her name in WNBA history.
“HISTORY FOR THE ROOK 🌟 With a career-high 14 PTS & 10 REB vs. the Chicago Sky, Dominique Malonga (19y 250d) becomes the youngest player in WNBA History to record a double-double, surpassing Liz Cambage (19y 290d),” the league announced on X.
Malonga's impressive display showcased her immense potential as the second overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft. Despite averaging only 4.1 points and 2.9 rebounds entering Thursday's game, she proved that the future is bright for both Malonga and the Seattle Storm.
