Chicago Sky are off to strong start although may have lost Rickea Jackson to knee injury

The Chicago Sky got off to a hot start to the season, but the health of young star Rickea Jackson is foremost on their minds after she had a non-contact injury on her left knee in Sunday’s win over Minnesota. Jackson injured her knee in the second quarter and will have an MRI on Monday. The Sky went 3-1 on the season-opening road trip and will return home to face Dallas on Wednesday. The 6-foot-2 forward was acquired by the Sky in the offseason in a trade with Los Angeles. She was averaging 22 points a game before getting hurt Sunday.
