Sky to bring back coach Tyler Marsh for third season (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Just a week ago he was reckoning with his future in Chicago after another season failed to live up to expectations. He told reporters that whether or not he was back leading the Sky in 2027, he was grateful for his experience — and that he if he was back, he’d approach it with the same zeal he always has. Now he can rest easy. The Sky front office wants to see what the third-year coach can do, confirming that he’ll be returning next season. “It was going to be incredibly unfair to judge someone
Reviewing Sky center Kamilla Cardoso's development (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s a bit mind-bending to consider, but center Kamilla Cardoso is one of the Sky’s elder statesmen. Not in age of course — she’s still only 25, her brain having just arrived at full development — but in consecutive tenure. Cardoso was drafted No. 3 in 2024, the Sky’s first lottery pick in many years, and is one of only two remaining players from that team. The roster, coaching staff and even practice locations all have turned over. This season was her third, often an inflection point for young

Taylor was one of the big break-out stories of the year as she went undrafted out of
Natasha Cloud proved her value this season. How should the Sky respond? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Are you ever going to make a three?” general manager Jeff Pagliocca asked Natasha Cloud early in the season. Cloud is telling the story during her exit interview, a huge grin on her face. She’s close with Pagliocca and she loves those kinds of challenges. “I literally started making threes after that,” she said, and it’s true: after a slump to start the season, she ended up shooting a career-best 35.7% from deep. Cloud, who will become a free agent after this offseason, proved her point to Pagl
Reading the tea leaves on Sky coach Tyler Marsh’s future (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sparks coach Lynne Roberts was the first to get the axe this WNBA postseason, fired Friday afternoon. Given that the Sky’s recent disappointments have resembled the Sparks’, one has to wonder: will coach Tyler Marsh suffer the same fate? The Sky lost their final game on Thursday, finishing the season at 16-28. During Marsh’s post-game press conference, amidst the usual torrent of emotions brought about by the end of a season, there was also an added sense that his future hung in the balance. It
