2024 is anticipated to be a year of reinvention for the Chicago Sky.
After a season of uphill battles that resulted in a first-round playoff loss to the eventual-champion Las Vegas Aces, the Sky are changing things up, beginning at the top. They hired former WNBA player and Hall of Famer Theresa Weatherspoon as head coach and Jeff Pagliocca as general manager. In addition, they are bringing back a solid veteran core in Kahleah Copper, Elizabeth Williams, Dana Evans, Isabelle Harrison and Marina Mabrey.
But the futures of some notable free agents remain unclear. Their unrestricted free agents include Courtney Williams and Alanna Smith. Their only restricted free agent is Ruthy Hebard. Reserve free agents include Rebekah Gardner, Robyn Parks, and Morgan Bertsch. Sika Koné and Li Yueru are the two unprotected players who don’t have a base salary protection and could be cut at a moment’s notice.
