Chicago Sky Face 'Uphill Battle' in Free Agency, Per WNBA Insider

It's hard to argue that any WNBA team had more of a rollercoaster 2024 than the Chicago Sky.

The Sky's high point had to have been the 2024 WNBA Draft, when they selected former South Carolina Gamecocks center Kamilla Cardoso with the No. 3 pick then chose LSU Tigers icon Angel Reese with the No. 6 pick.

Chicago nailed both picks. Reese is already one of the league's elite forwards and was the steal of the draft, and while Cardoso wasn't as dominant as many might have believed, she still proved that she'll be a force in the years to come.

However, these rookies' success didn't turn the Sky into a contender. They finished the year with a 13-27 record, lost their last five games and 12 of their final 14 contests, then fired first-year head coach Teresa Weatherspoon after the season ended.
