The Chicago Sky (3-4) host the Minnesota Lynx (5-2) in a WNBA 2026 matchup on Friday, May 29, at Wintrust Arena in Chicago.
Minnesota already has Chicago's number this season, and this rematch arrives at exactly the wrong time for the Sky. The Lynx beat the Sky already and are playing their best basketball of the young season.
After a season-opener loss, the Lynx have won five of their last six games, including their last three. They're coming off a 96-81 win over the Atlanta Dream, where they shot an excellent 59.7% clip from the field. Minnesota also had 26 assists as a team, a testament to their smooth execution on that end of the floor.
Plus, all Lynx starters in that win scored in double digits, with Courtney Williams's 25 leading the way. Natasha Howard also stuffed the stat sheet with 22 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 stocks.
Minnesota heads into Friday holding the fourth-best offensive rating and the 2nd-best defensive rating.
Meanwhile, the Sky are traversing a different path. They won three of their first four games, but have lost three straight since. Chicago will have to dig deep if they want to win on Friday.
