Chicago Sky Veteran Vandersloot Out Rest of 2025 Season with Torn ACL

Chicago Sky point guard Courtney Vandersloot will miss the remainder of the 2025 WNBA season after suffering a torn right ACL during Saturday's game against the Indiana Fever, an injury confirmed by MRI and requiring surgery. Vandersloot, a 36-year-old veteran and franchise icon, was injured while driving to the basket in the first quarter, leading to her being carried off the court and later ruled out for the season. This loss is a significant blow to the struggling Sky, who are currently 2-5, as Vandersloot was averaging 10.6 points, 5.3 assists, and 3.1 rebounds per game, and recently became the franchise's all-time scoring leader. The injury leaves the Sky without their veteran leader at point guard, with rookie Hailey Van Lith and others expected to step up in her absence. Vandersloot, in her 15th WNBA season, had just returned to Chicago after two seasons with the New York Liberty, and will become an unrestricted free agent next offseason. The Sky will now face a challenging season ahead without their captain and playmaker.
