Sky vs Wings Injury Report

Sky vs Wings Prediction
I mentioned from the start of the season that the Sky have dark horse potential with their collection of players; they just need to get healthy. Well, the Sky are winning, but they’re not healthy, and the Rickea Jackson injury doesn’t help. Jackson was off to the best start of her career. Devastating blow. The Wings still have things to tighten up defensively, but the scoring punch is there and Azzi is coming off her best game yet.
The Wings are slowly coming along. The Sky have so many banged-up bodies and even with this being their home debut, it wouldn’t be surprising to see a depressed team take the court. The Wings should take advantage of this spot. I’ll lay the bucket with the Wings.
