Sky G Courtney Vandersloot has torn ACL, done for season
June 9 - Chicago Sky veteran point guard Courtney Vandersloot suffered a torn ACL in her right knee and will miss the rest of the 2025 season, the team announced Sunday. Vandersloot was injured Saturday when the Sky lost 79-52 at home to the Indiana Fever. She went down while driving to the basket in the first quarter and had to be carried off the floor. Vandersloot, 36, returned to the Sky this season after becoming a franchise great from 2011-22 and then spending two years with the New York Liberty. A five-time All-Star and two-time WNBA champion (once with Chicago, once with New York), Vandersloot ranks second in league history in assists (2,886), 15th in steals (544) and 19th in games played (436). Vandersloot also became Chicago's all-time scoring leader last month, passing Allie Quigley -- her wife. Vandersloot has scored 3,745 points for the Sky. Vandersloot averaged 10.6 points and 5.3 assists and 1.6 steals in seven games this season. --Field Level Media

Courtney Vandersloot carried off floor after painful-looking knee injury in Fever-Sky
Courtney Vandersloot exited Saturday's Indiana Fever-Chicago Sky game with an ankle injury, and it looked bad enough that not many expected her to return. The 15-year WNBA veteran went down on a drive in the first quarter and immediately cried out in pain while grabbing her right knee. After receiving attention from trainers, she was carried off the floor to the locker room. Advertisement The Sky later announced she was out for the rest of the game. The injury put a major damper on what was supposed to be a marquee event for not just the hosting Sky, but the WNBA overall. Saturday was the first time the Sky were playing at the United Center, home of the Chicago Bulls and Chicago Blackhawks, and there was some speculation the rivalry game could break the WNBA attendance record. The game fell short of that record due to in-arena construction, and expectations also fell due to the injury of Fever star Caitlin Clark. Still, the game clearly wasn't hurting for attendees. Vandersloot is in her first season back with the Sky, having previously played the first 12 seasons of her career in Chicago before two years with the New York Liberty. She claimed the franchise's all-time scoring title earlier this season — surpassing her wife Allie Quigley in the process — and now the team can only hope she has more points to score this season.
