"We’re devastated that Rickea suffered this injury, but we are
confident she will make a full recovery,” Chicago general
manager Jeff Pagliocca said. “Rickea was playing at an All-Star
and All-Defensive level early in the season. We are certain she
was primed for a career year. Our world-class medical staff will
work hard with Rickea, who is one of the toughest players in the
league, to get her back on the court.”
The 6-foot-2 forward was acquired by Chicago in an offseason
trade with Los Angeles. She was averaging 22 points a game.
The Sky were already dealing with a handful of injuries as
DiJonai Carrington (foot), Azura Stevens (knee) and Courtney
Vandersloot (knee) are yet to make their season debuts. Skylar
Diggins, who signed as a free agent this offseason, missed
Sunday’s game with an eye injury.
The Sky had gotten off to a strong start with wins in three of
their first four games — all on the road. Chicago plays its next
four at home, starting with Wednesday night's game against
Dallas.
