“Obviously, we want to cut down the turnovers.” As the newly appointed head coach of Chicago Sky, Tyler Marsh echoed the pleas of his locker room after a crushing 107-86 defeat against the Phoenix Mercury. After all, the ball turns are gradually becoming into a major roadblock for the Sky. While they have been crowned as the worst ball-handlers in the league with over 18.9 turnovers per game, can HC Marsh cut down on these generous possessions before Sky falls face-flat this season?

Despite showcasing flashes of brilliance against one of the roughest teams in the league, Sky’s turnovers pushed them with two consecutive losses. While the team shamelessly contributed over 25 turnovers against the Washington Mystcis, forward athlete Angel Reese committed 7 turnovers against the Mystics. However, she addressed the issue, took accountability, and avoided losing out on balls in the high octane game against the Phoenix Mercury.
Unfortunately, the athlete delivered an underwhelming performance yesterday. Despite zero turnovers, she dished the season’s worst performance with just 9 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists within 21 minutes of her on-court appearance. This is the first time in the season when the rebounding queen failed to clinch at least 5 rebounds for the roster.
