Injury Report
The Sky’s 2025 season has been shaped by a mix of youth development and critical injuries to veteran leaders.
- Courtney Vandersloot (G): The veteran floor general was lost early in the season due to a knee injury and has been ruled out for the remainder of the year. Her absence has left Chicago without its most experienced playmaker, forcing younger guards like Hailey Van Lith and Sevgi Uzun to step into expanded roles.
- Angel Reese (F): Day-to-day with recurring back issues. Despite the setback, Reese has been the team’s most consistent performer, averaging a double-double. Chicago has been cautious with her workload to preserve her long-term health.
- Moriah Jefferson (G): Limited to just a handful of games due to lower-body injuries, the veteran guard has struggled to stay on the court, impacting Chicago’s depth in the backcourt.
These injuries have forced head coach Tyler Marsh to juggle lineups frequently. The loss of Vandersloot’s leadership has been particularly difficult, while Reese’s health remains a pivotal factor in Chicago’s nightly competitiveness. As a result, the Sky have often leaned on rookies and bench players to carry heavy minutes, underscoring both the challenges and opportunities of a rebuilding year.
Coaching Staff
Head Coach Tyler Marsh, in his first full season at the helm of the Chicago Sky, brings championship experience from his time as an assistant with the Las Vegas Aces. Known for his emphasis on defensive schemes and player development, Marsh has quickly become a stabilizing presence during Chicago’s transitional phase. Assistant coaches Sydney Johnson and former Sky forward Tamera “Ty” Young add balance to the bench, blending tactical adjustments with firsthand WNBA playing experience. Behind the scenes, Ann Crosby continues to anchor strength and conditioning, while athletic trainers Matt Repa and Chantal Hart focus on keeping the young roster healthy.
