The Chicago Sky will not tank. General manager Jeff Pagliocca made that clear in the wake of Courtney Vandersloot’s season-ending ACL tear Saturday against the Indiana Fever. Things are dire in Chicago.

The Chicago Sky’s historic first game at the United Center ended with a 79-52 loss to the Indiana Fever — and an injury to Courtney Vandersloot.

The first WNBA game at the United Center got off to an unfortunate start when Chicago Sky point guard and franchise icon Courtney Vandersloot went down with a knee injury just minutes into the team's 79-52 loss to the Indiana Fever on Saturday.

Chicago suffered the second consecutive loss to the Fever but may have suffered a greater loss with the injury to Courtney Vandersloot.
