Courtney Vandersloot is expected to sign with the Sky as an unrestricted free agent: sources

Courtney Vandersloot left the Sky in 2023 in pursuit of her second WNBA championship.

After accomplishing that goal with the Liberty last season, Vandersloot entered free agency with a new priority: compete for a franchise that values her. According to multiple sources out of Unrivaled, the Sky’s All-Time assist leader is expected to return to the franchise that drafted her with the third overall pick in the 2011 WNBA draft.

Vandersloot averaged 6.4 points and 4.8 assists, playing just 22.3 minutes per game last year for the Liberty. The five-time All-Star has been heavily pursued during free agency. Several franchises would expect her to come off the bench. She will have a starting role in Chicago and serve as the veteran presence they lacked last season.

Signing Vandersloot is another step in the Sky’s efforts to signal that they are a franchise worthy of the league’s top free agents.
