Courtney Vandersloot expected to return to Chicago Sky

Courtney Vandersloot is set to return to the Chicago Sky for the 2025 WNBA season after two successful years with the New York Liberty, where she helped the team win its first championship. The former Sky point guard, who was a key player in their 2021 title run, is expected to sign a one-year deal when free agency opens. At 36, Vandersloot brings a wealth of experience and leadership to a young Sky roster featuring promising players like Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso. Although her production dipped in New York, she remains one of the league's all-time greats, holding the record for the most assists in a single game and ranking second in career assists behind Sue Bird. Vandersloot expressed a desire to be valued and to have a significant role on her new team, which is eager for her veteran presence amid a roster overhaul. The Sky's management aims to leverage Vandersloot's experience to improve their assist rankings and overall competitiveness this season.
