Chicago Sky's Rookie Guard Gabriela Jaquez to Miss Game Due to Knee Injury
Chicago Sky's rookie guard Gabriela Jaquez has made a strong impact in the team's early games this season. She has been averaging 11.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.2 steals in the six games she has played. Jaquez's standout performance came against the Minnesota Lynx, where she scored a career-high 20 points and contributed eight rebounds, one assist, and one steal, leading the Sky to a victory.
However, Jaquez will miss her first professional game due to a left knee injury as the Chicago Sky take on the Toronto Tempo. The team confirmed her absence in the injury report submitted to the WNBA. The details surrounding the injury, including its nature and severity, remain undisclosed.
Despite her recent injury, Jaquez played in the Sky's previous game against the Lynx, where she struggled to make an impact, scoring only seven points, grabbing four rebounds, and recording two steals in 23 minutes of play. With Jaquez out, the Sky will be missing four players in the upcoming game against the Tempo, including Courtney Vandersloot, DiJonai Carrington, and Rickea Jackson, who is sidelined for the season due to a torn ACL.
