The Indiana Fever vs Chicago Sky was one of the five games scheduled for July 27. Both teams took the court without their star players in the lineup; Angel Reese was out with a back injury, and Caitlin Clark with a groin injury.

Cardoso outplayed former college teammate Aliyah Boston in the first half. But the Fever adjusted, showing why Cardoso's next leap will have to come mentally.

Without Caitlin Clark (groin), the Fever leaned on All-Stars Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston to close out Chicago for the third time this season.
