The Unrivaled league is bringing out the best in players on the court, with many showcasing their abilities. Aliyah Boston even revealed how unrivaled helped her improve core skills in the WNBA. But sadly, that’s not the case for the Chicago Sky duo, Rachel Banham and Rebecca Allen.
The duo, representing the Lunar Owls BC, struggled on the biggest stage, and the signs are not good for the Sky franchise, which is looking to build from within to compete in the upcoming season.
Chicago Sky’s Duo Struggling At Unrivaled League
The Unrivaled league is giving WNBA sides a chance to evaluate their players on individual skills, with minimal risk of error and a high likelihood of making an impact. Unfortunately, that was the case for Banham and Allen, who suffered another loss against Breeze BC.
Banham scored only one bucket in the game, as the Lunar Owls were looking to make a comeback. Allen also showed improvement, even hitting a 3-pointer. But in the end, Allen would wrap up the night with more fouls than points. She leads the league with 3.7 fouls per game.
