The Chicago Sky host the Dallas Wings at Wintrust Arena on Sunday with the hopes of securing a win and moving up the standings to secure a playoff berth. However, Chicago's rookie superstar Angel Reese won't be playing in the game. The return of Chennedy Carter should suffice for Reese's absence statistically, but fans are sure to miss their beloved star on the court.
On the other hand, the Dallas Wings are carrying the same aspirations as their opponents. They will try their best to secure a victory on the road and move up the standings as there are not many games left to play.

Chicago Sky starting lineup and depth chart
The Chicago Sky will not have their rookie double-double machine Angel Reese against the Wings on Sunday. Sky announced today that Reese has been sidelined for the rest of the season after suffering a wrist injury in their game against the Los Angeles Sparks on Friday.
Elizabeth Williams is also listed out as she underwent a season-ending surgery in June. Coach Teresa Weatherspoon will have a major challenge in forming a lineup without Angel Reese.
The rookie has been a core player in her tactics, and her absence has left a big hole in the usual lineup. Weatherspoon has the responsibility to fill in that void with a capable replacement who can work with her style of basketball.
Here is the expected starting lineup for the Sky against the Wings on Sunday:
G- Lindsay Allen, G- Rachel Banham, F- Michaela Onyenwere, F- Diamond DeShields and C- Kamilla Cardoso.
