What happened: The Chicago Sky have officially launched an All-Star campaign for center Kamilla Cardoso as fan voting for the 2026 season opened Thursday. Cardoso has been a focal point for the team's frontcourt in her debut season, providing elite rim protection and consistent interior scoring.
Why it matters: Cardoso’s defensive impact has been immediate, as she currently ranks third in the league with 1.9 blocks per game. Her emergence as a double-double threat is critical for a Chicago team currently 4-8 and looking to climb the Eastern Conference standings alongside veteran Azurá Stevens.
By the numbers: 12.3 PPG, 9.0 RPG, 1.9 BPG; 51.4% FG; Chicago Sky: 4-8 (6th in East).
What to watch: The Sky host the Indiana Fever tonight in a Commissioner’s Cup matchup with significant Eastern Conference standings implications.
