The Sky have four players listed on their injury report, including Sydney Taylor and Skylar Diggins.
Chicago has listed Taylor as questionable due to left groin strain that she suffered in Monday's loss and she is in danger of missing her first game since May 20.
The Sky have ruled out Diggins due to a right knee injury that has sidelined her since July 7 and there is still no timetable for her return.
