Connecticut Sun News

Confirmed Lineup: Tyasha Harris, DiJonai Carrington, DeWanna Bonner, Alyssa Thomas, Brionna Jones

• Tiffany Mitchell (illness) — TBD

The Sun are playing on the second day of a back-to-back for the second time in a week as they play their fifth game in 10 days.

Thomas didn't return to Saturday's game after suffering a right leg injury in the first quarter, but she was cleared to return during the third quarter. After the game, coach White said:

"She's sore. We're gonna ... get her reevaluated to see how she feels for tomorrow. I know that there's still some concerns. I think probably in a pinch she could've went, but not really something that we wanted to chance."

Thomas has played in 109 consecutive games, and she's done so while battling torn labrums.

Chicago Sky News

Confirmed Lineup: Lindsay Allen, Rachel Banham, Michaela Onyenwere, Angel Reese, Kamilla Cardoso

• Chennedy Carter (health protocols) — Out

• Elizabeth Williams (knee) — Out for season

The Sky have lost a league-high five straight and six of seven since trading Marina Mabrey to the Sun. In the four games Carter played in that span, she posted a league-best 33.3% usage rate while Reese has led all players with a 21.6% rebound rate -- up from 18.1% in the first half of the season.

Reese is six rebounds away from breaking the record for most in a season, and she'll have done it in fewer games than everyone else in the top eight in total rebounds in a season. She grabbed 16 rebounds in the first meeting against the Lynx.

Of the four Aces who competed in the Olympics, Young was the first to receive a break when she rested during the previous game.

Los Angeles Sparks News

Confirmed Lineup: Odyssey Sims, Stephanie Talbot, Rickea Jackson, Dearica Hamby, Azurá Stevens

• Aari McDonald (foot) — Probable

• Layshia Clarendon — Out

• Lexie Brown (illness) — Out

• Cameron Brink (knee) — Out for season

McDonald originally claimed the starting point guard role from Clarendon, who pilfered it from Brown. Crystal Dangerfield has started most of the games after the Olympic break, but Odyssey Sims has led the team with 5.3 assists per game in that timeframe. Dangerfield has helped push the pace (team-high 103.64 with her on the court), but the Sparks have gone winless in Dangerfield's five starts. They've recorded a 3-13 record since Brink suffered a torn ACL.
