The Latest Breaking News from Chicago Sky

This offseason, Copper’s fire is being fueled by her omission from both All-WNBA teams and amplified by a new coach who mirrors her energy.

On top of being a five-time All-Star, Weatherspoon was named Defensive Player of the Year in the league’s first two seasons (1997, 1998.) Her team, she said, will hang their hats on the defensive side of the ball. Weatherspoon already has players that can fulfill those expectations.

The execution of the Sky’s vision — in conjunction with Weatherspoon’s hire — hinges on another major decision: who the franchise hires as its first individual general manager.

But it probably won't. Money rules this league and that's such a shame.

CHICAGO — Chicago native and three-time NBA champion Dwyane Wade is the latest to join the Chicago Sky’s ownership group, adding to a growing list of celebrities and high-profile investors pursuing a stake in the league.

Wade now has stake in three professional sports franchises.

CHICAGO — Chicago Sky coach and general manager James Wade resigned from the team Saturday to accept an assistant coaching position with the NBA’s Toronto Raptors, leaving the WNBA franchise reeling in the midst of a rebuilding season.

She scored a team-high 16 points in a loss Sunday to the Mystics.

Anigwe will leave the Sky on Sunday and will miss six to eight games.

On May 13, Canada hosted its first professional Women’s National Basketball Association game at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. The Chicago Sky and Minnesota Lynx graced the hardwood court, adorned with the WNBA logo in the centre.

A crazy offseason sets the table for what could be an epic summer of basketball.
