BOTTOM LINE: Minnesota Lynx takes on the Chicago Sky after Napheesa Collier scored 26 points in the Lynx's 87-81 loss to the Chicago Sky. The Sky have gone 4-4 at home. Chicago has a 4-8 record in games decided by 10 or more points.

Banham had her share of viral moments when she played for the University of Minnesota Gophers. Buzzer beaters, a 60-piece, even a tweet from Kobe Bryant. She entered the league as the fourth overall pick. But that notoriety pales in comparison to the women's game now. Her young Chicago teammates Angel Reese and Hailey Van Lith are prime examples.

Rickea Jackson started and played 31 minutes for the Sparks. She totaled 14 points, three rebounds, one assist and one steal. Jackson converted 4-of-10 field goal attempts, 2-of-5 three-point attempts and 4-for-4 field goal attempts.

WNBA season is heating up as the league nears its midpoint. The All-Star game this year will be played in Indianapolis, the home of the Fever. Superstar Napheesa Collier was named one of the captains for this year’s game along with Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever.

The Minnesota Lynx made incredible WNBA history following their 91-82 win over the Los Angeles Sparks on Thursday night.
