Overview
- The Atlanta Dream play the Chicago Sky at Wintrust Arena at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday, June 9, with the game airing on ESPN and streaming on fubo, DIRECTV and the ESPN app.
- Since being traded to Atlanta in the offseason, Angel Reese has been a key contributor as the Dream sit 7-3 and lead the Eastern Conference.
- The Chicago Sky have struggled this season and are positioned 12th overall after managing only one recent win against the Connecticut Sun.
- This Commissioner's Cup matchup is being treated as an early-season benchmark for teams as they adjust to the new collective bargaining agreement and compressed Cup schedule.
