hicago Sky rookie Kamilla Cardoso has quickly become a standout performer since the Olympic break, catching the attention of fans and teammates alike. Her impressive form culminated in a career-high 22-point game during Sunday’s narrow 79-74 loss to the Minnesota Lynx, solidifying her role as a key contributor for the team.
Cardoso’s Breakout Performance
Kamilla Cardoso’s fellow rookie, Angel Reese, had a feeling that Sunday would be a special game for her teammate. Before the matchup, Reese confidently predicted that Cardoso would dominate, and she was right. Cardoso took control inside the paint, scoring a career-best 22 points, grabbing nine rebounds, and dishing out one assist, all while shooting an efficient 63.6% from the field. She was perfect from the free-throw line, hitting all eight attempts, and played a crucial role in keeping the Sky competitive with leading scorer Chennedy Carter sidelined.
I told her from the beginning of the game, ‘This will be your game,'” Reese said after the game. “I knew this was going to be her game to dominate inside because they had nobody to guard her. I love Kamilla’s confidence, being able to go up strong and finish around the basket, then going up to the free-throw line and knocking it down. I’m really proud of Kamilla. Her confidence since the break has been great.
Rising Star for the Sky
Since the Sky returned to action on August 15, Cardoso has been one of the team’s top performers, averaging 12.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.5 blocks per game. Her post-Olympic break surge has been a significant factor in the Sky’s recent success, as she continues to grow into a more confident and dominant force on the court.
As the season progresses, Kamilla Cardoso is proving to be a vital piece of the Chicago Sky’s puzzle, with her breakout performance signaling that she is ready to make a lasting impact in the WNBA.
