Change is coming to the Windy City.
After a period of free agency that saw a complete upheaval in the roster that included trading Kahleah Copper to the Phoenix Mercury, the Chicago Sky made a series of moves that brought in veteran and emerging talents that could keep the team in playoff contention.
On Tuesday, the team announced that former WNBA player and coach Crystal Robinson will be joining the staff of her former New York Liberty teammate Teresa Weatherspoon as an assistant coach. The day before, it was announced that the Sky will acquire the No. 8 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, which they received for trading Julie Allemand, the rights to Li Yueru and Chicago’s third round pick in the 2025 draft to the Los Angeles Sparks.
We have acquired the #8 overall pick in this year’s @WNBA Draft from the @LASparks in exchange for Julie Allemand (via sign and trade), the rights to Li Yueru, and a 2025 Third Round pick.

On April 15, the Sky are slated to select No. 3, No. 8 and No. 13 in the draft. While there is some speculation as to who will potentially fill those slots, two players stand out as the potential chosen ones for the present, and future, of the Sky: Tennessee’s Rickea Jackson and Utah’s Alissa Pili.
