Kia Nurse Joins Chicago Sky on One-Year Deal

The Chicago Sky are making significant moves in free agency, signing Canadian guard Kia Nurse to a one-year contract as confirmed by her agent Bernie Lee. Nurse, a former All-Star, averaged 7.6 points per game with the Los Angeles Sparks last season and brings veteran experience to the Sky's young roster, which includes promising players Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso. Additionally, the Sky have acquired Rebecca Allen in a trade with the Connecticut Sun, exchanging point guard Lindsay Allen and the rights to Nikolina Milic. The franchise also re-signed Courtney Vandersloot, a key player in their 2021 championship win, after her hiatus with the New York Liberty. These strategic additions aim to bolster the team's performance following a 13-27 record in 2024, as they strive to return to playoff contention. The Sky's off-season moves highlight their commitment to building around young talent while integrating experienced players to enhance their competitive edge.
