The Chicago Sky are gearing up for an intense matchup against Caitlin Clark and Indiana Fever on Saturday. Moreover, Chicago is in line to receive big help from 2024 third overall pick Kamilla Cardoso after the team provided a game-changing injury update on the star center.
After missing nearly the first month of regular season action, Cardoso has been upgraded to probable/available for the Sky-Fever game, Chicago announced on Friday evening. If everything goes according to plan, the 6’7″center should provide a significant interior boost to Chicago.
Kamilla Cardoso played 13 minutes in the Sky’s first preseason against the Minnesota Lynx on May 3rd Unfortunately, she suffered a shoulder injury that saw her leave the contest. Chicago predicted that Cardoso would be out for roughly four to six weeks after the incident.
Cardoso bided her time recovering and eventually returned to practice in late May. She and head coach Teresa Weatherspoon predicted a targeted return date of June 1st, the same day as the Sky’s first regular season game against the Fever.
Thankfully, Cardoso has progressed well and plans to make her official WNBA debut against Caitlin Clark in Indiana on Saturday. The former South Carolina Gamecock’s stout inside scoring, rebounding, and rim protection significantly boosts a Sky team that already possesses the services of veteran center Elizabeth Williams.
Cardoso’s skill, size, and championship experience will make the ultimate difference for Chicago.
