- On Friday, Chicago hosts the WNBA All-Star Weekend marking the league's 30th anniversary, though the Chicago Sky organization has no players selected for Saturday's game at the United Center.

- Former Sky player Angel Reese, now with the Atlanta Dream, will compete in Saturday's game, while WNBA All-Star Media Day and Practice occur at the Obama Presidential Center for the first time.
