Vandersloot returned to the Sky this WNBA offseason, the team that drafted her with the No. 3 pick in 2011. She spent two seasons with the New York Liberty, and her return will mark her 13th season with the Sky after she left in 2023.
She returned as a two-time WNBA champion after she won her second ring with the Liberty in the 2024 season. She averaged 8.7 points and 6.6 assists during her time in New York.
Sky's new head coach Tyler Marsh praised her exceptional competitiveness and playmaking abilities. She will lead a young Sky team when the new season tips off on May 17 against the Indiana Fever.
