Chicago Sky Re-Sign Courtney Vandersloot, Add DiJonai Carrington The Chicago Sky have re-signed veteran guard Courtney Vandersloot following her abbreviated 2025 season, which was cut short by an ACL injury sustained in June. The team confirmed the deal on Sunday, though terms were not disclosed publicly. A source told ESPN’s Alexa Philippou that Vandersloot signed a two-year, $1.5 million contract. Vandersloot, who has been a cornerstone of the franchise since her 2011 draft selection, expressed her eagerness to return, stating, “I truly believe the Sky are building something special, which made it a no-brainer to sign back.” She also acknowledged the disappointment of finishing the 2025 season prematurely due to her injury. Despite playing only seven games in 2025, Vandersloot made history as the Sky’s all-time leading scorer. She surpassed her wife and former teammate Allie Quigley to claim the franchise record, amassing 3,745 points with the team. Vandersloot, who has scored 4,352 career points in her WNBA career, also holds the Sky’s records for assists (2,423) and steals (468). Her 2,886 career assists rank second in WNBA history behind Sue Bird’s 3,234. A five-time All-Star (2011, 2019, 2021–23), Vandersloot was named to the All-WNBA first team in 2019 and 2020. The Sky also added free agent DiJonai Carrington, who signed a one-year deal, according to a source. Carrington, a 5-11 guard-forward, previously averaged 10.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 20 games for the Dallas Wings in 2025 before being traded to the Minnesota Lynx at the trade deadline. With the Lynx, Carrington contributed 8.6 points per game over 11 regular-season contests, shooting 48.5% from the field and 45.5% on three-pointers.#chicago_sky #courtney_vandersloot #allie_quigley #dijonai_carrington #jeff_pagliocca
