Overview
- Two WNBA games are scheduled for Monday night, Aug. 10: Toronto Tempo at the Atlanta Dream at 8 p.m. ET on Peacock/NBCSN and the Chicago Sky at the Seattle Storm at 10 p.m. ET on USA Network.
- The Atlanta Dream enter the game as a playoff contender after an offseason that included acquiring Angel Reese from Chicago and sit near the top of the Eastern standings.
- Chicago is 12-20 and still chasing a playoff spot but is seven games back of the eighth seed, with key absences as Skylar Diggins and Sydney Taylor are listed out for the matchup.
- Chicago’s recent 90-86 loss to Indiana featured DiJonai Carrington’s flagrant-2 ejection for a hard foul and a Threads post from the locker room that Sky coach Tyler Marsh said the team will address.
- The Seattle Storm are already eliminated and mired in an 11-game losing streak with multiple players listed questionable, and the broader season is unfolding under a new collective bargaining agreement and expanded media deals.
