In addition to being one of the league’s most reliable playmakers, Vandersloot should serve as a reliable veteran presence in a young Chicago Sky locker room. The Sky remain one of the league’s youngest teams, and also have the No. 3 pick available in the 2025 draft, where they’re liking to add another young player.

Even after earning the late-season opportunity to sign on with the Liberty through the playoffs, point guard Jaylyn Sherrod knows her spot in the WNBA is far from solidified.

According to Annie Costabile of the Chicago Sun-Times, Vandersloot is expected to reunite with the Chicago Sky in free agency. Vandersloot played the first 12 seasons of her career in the Windy City, where she became the Sky's all-time leader in assists. After spending two seasons with the Liberty, it appears she'll be headed back to Chicago.

New York Liberty’s third annual “Season of Giving” community outreach was so abundant that it lasted until the middle of January.

The Liberty have a chance to trade for the Wings' Satou Sabally. With her sister Nyara already in New York, they should make it happen.

“Yeah, it got spicy between co-founders for a little bit,” says New York Liberty center Breanna Stewart, who along with her 2024 WNBA Finals rival, Minnesota’s Napheesa Collier, are starting Unrivaled, a three-on-three women’s pro basketball league that tips off Friday night in South Florida.

According to ESPN's Alexa Philippou, Sabally will meet with the Liberty and Mercury in the coming days. New York is the reigning WNBA champion, and she has a couple of connections there. Her younger sister, Nyara Sabally, plays there and was instrumental in their triumph last season.
