The Chicago Sky have a new star cementing her place in franchise history. Rookie standout Kamilla Cardoso has officially become just the third player in team history to record 450+ points and 300+ rebounds in a single season, joining legends Sylvia Fowles and Angel Reese in an exclusive club.
🚨 “Kamilla’s ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor is remarkable for a first-year player. She’s showing not just potential, but consistency,” a Sky team representative noted after the announcement.
Cardoso, who entered the league as one of the most talked-about prospects from South Carolina, has quickly established herself as a two-way force. Known for her dominance in the paint, she has given Chicago a reliable inside presence on offense while also anchoring the defense with her rebounding and rim protection.
Her achievement is even more impressive when considering the company she now keeps. Fowles, one of the greatest centers in WNBA history, reached the milestone three times during her tenure with the Sky, while Reese, Chicago’s rookie sensation from LSU, did it earlier this season. Cardoso’s entry into this group underscores the Sky’s growing identity as a team built around size, strength, and relentless rebounding.
This accomplishment also highlights the strong future for Chicago. With Reese and Cardoso forming one of the league’s most intimidating frontcourts, the Sky are laying the foundation for years of dominance inside.
For Cardoso personally, the milestone is a validation of her growth and adaptation in her rookie season. While many rookies struggle to transition from college to the professional game, she has thrived, showing the same energy, composure, and dominance that made her a national champion at South Carolina.
🚨 “It’s an honor to be mentioned with Sylvia Fowles and Angel Reese,” Cardoso said. “They’re players I look up to, and to be part of Sky history so early in my career means a lot. But I know this is just the beginning.”
With playoff hopes still alive and momentum building, Chicago will lean on Cardoso’s steady production as they look to close out the season strong. One thing is clear: the Sky have found a cornerstone in Kamilla Cardoso, and her rise is only getting started.
