Overview
- The Sky lost 85-68 to the Toronto Tempo on Sunday, a defeat that highlighted ongoing slow starts and extended a multi-game slide that has left Chicago 4-7 on the season.
- After the game, veteran guard Skylar Diggins said the team needs more maturity, leadership and effort and told reporters to direct questions about half-court offense to head coach Tyler Marsh.
- Marsh publicly accepted responsibility for the Sky’s offensive struggles and said the coaching staff is reviewing schemes and execution, while players acknowledged missed fundamentals such as setting screens and boxing out.
- Chicago’s decline followed a season-ending ACL for Rickea Jackson and other absences that removed expected interior scoring and rebounding, exposing limits in the win-now roster the front office assembled.
- Fans and media have raised trade and locker-room questions, and the Sky say they are discussing adjustments before a tough upcoming stretch of games that will test whether the team can steady itself.
