Courtney Vandersloot wastes no time in announcing bombshell Chicago Sky return

Courtney Vandersloot is heading back to the Chicago Sky for her 15th season in the WNBA. Vandersloot, coming off winning a championship with the New York Liberty, the second of her career, did not wait to announce the decision as she subtly dropped the news in only a way she could on Wednesday.

Vandersloot joins the Chicago Sky, where she spent the first 12 seasons of her pro career. Those 12 seasons saw her named to four All-Star teams, five All-WNBA teams and her first championship in 2021. Coming off her second WNBA title, she looks to make an impact with a Sky team that missed the playoffs last season.

The Sky finished in last place in the Eastern Conference and 10th out of the league's 12 teams. However, the Sky has some young, upcoming star players they hope will have a bigger impact this year. Among the Sky's young stars are Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso, two 2024 WNBA All-Rookie team members.

With the added championship and veteran experience of Vandersloot to this up-and-coming Sky team, big things could be in store for the Chicago Sky in the 2025 WNBA season.
