2021 WNBA Finals MVP Kahleah Copper is returning to the Sky on a multi-year deal, according to Just Women's Sports' Rachel Galligan.
Reports of Copper agreeing to a multi-year deal come weeks removed from the team saying it offered Copper the core designation, a one-year supermax deal totaling just over $228,000.
“[With the core designation] you’re showing them they're the future of the franchise going forward,” Sky general manager/coach James Wade told the Chicago Sun-Times' Annie Costabile. “I know sometimes people think the core designation limits you but it actually shows the organization's investment and belief in you.”
