The Sky have signed former Creighton Blue Jay Morgan Maly to a developmental to replace Maddy Westbeld, who was recently poached by the Mercury. Maly averaged 18.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game during the offseason for Proteas in the Greek league.
Because of the Tempo's 11 game losing streak, the Sky have improbably moved out of the top 2 lottery odds for the pick they are giving to Washington. I have said that this is a sunk cost--the pick is gone no matter where it lands in the lottery--but if the Sky hope to make the playoffs next year, it is in their interest that Washington doesn't get a superstar in the draft (as the Sky will hypothetically be competing with them next year).
Please keep her for the rest of her career. Cloud belongs in the Sky.

Hi everyone ! Coming in town this weekend and plan on going to the Friday night game vs the Valkyries. I know the Chris Brown and Usher concert is going at Soldier Field nearby . Any advice as far as navigating the traffic - uber/lyft, the train, etc ?
Edit: I’ll be staying in the river north/MM area.
Hi all! Visiting Chicago and going to the Sky vs Liberty game tomorrow (08/18). Very excited to go!
Was wondering how strict they are w bag policy. I have varying experience w different stadiums for how strict they are.
I’ll be at the Field museum and won’t have time
To go back to my hotel to drop it off. Would this be okay ?
Per official injury report.
Taylor has been officially out on the injury report for the last several games, so this seems like progress. Questionable means about a 50% chance of playing.
The WNBA's salary structure creates some absurd value gaps. A rookie on a scale contract and a max-salary veteran can produce nearly identical win shares while one earns five times the other.
I pulled every player's 2026 salary from Her Hoops Stats and win share totals from Basketball Reference (as of 8/11/26) and calculated win shares per $1M to see who's actually delivering on their current deals.
The results sort into four tiers, from elite value down to contracts that aren't returning much of anything. A few names in the top group won't surprise anyone. A few in the bottom group might.
Note: I put a minimum of 250 minutes played, so players like Napheesa Collier (MIN), Ezi Magbegor (SEA), Brionna Jones (ATL), and Satou Sabally (NYL) did not qualify yet.

The evolution of three-point attempt rate (3PAr) helps explain how the WNBA has changed since its inaugural season in 1997. In the league’s first two seasons, less than 20% of field goal attempts were threes. The rate climbed to a then-record 26.6% in 2012 before jumping to 28.4% in 2018.
That 2018 season marked the beginning of the three-point revolution. From 1997-2017, the league’s average 3PAr was 22.9%. Since 2018, it has risen to 32.7%. This season, teams are attempting threes on 36.9% of their field goal attempts, which would eclipse last year’s record of 36.0%.
The increase has been especially dramatic among expansion teams. Golden State set the record last season at 45.8% and is currently second all-time at 45.1%. The Fire currently rank fifth all-time at 42.4%. The Liberty have seven of the top 12 seasons all-time, one from each of the last seven seasons. This year’s team is on pace to set another franchise record.
The volume has increased without a major decline in efficiency. League-wide three-point percentage (3P%) was 33.7% from 1997-2017 and is 34.3% since 2018.
Even posts have caught the three-point bug. Centers (according to positions listed on Basketball Reference) went from attempting threes on just 6.0% of their field goal attempts from 1997-2017 to 15.1% since 2018, a 2.5x increase, while their 3P% improved from 32.0% to 33.7%.
The graphs and tables sort every qualifying post player (minimum of eight games) from 2017 and 2026 into five shooting profiles using identical thresholds: 22.6% 3PAr for volume and 34.3% 3P% for efficiency. Only five posts were high-volume and efficient in 2017 compared to 13 in 2026. Meanwhile, the number of posts who attempted zero threes fell from 17 to six.
The change extends beyond the overall numbers. Five posts who played in both seasons completely changed their shot profiles by significantly increasing their own three-point volume.
Until three-point efficiency starts to fall, posts will keep stretching the floor.
The WNBA’s elite forwards look different now. A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier and Alyssa Thomas are part of that evolution.
Candace Parker and Elena Delle Donne, now Hall of Famers, paved the way.
I didn't like how she went about the threads comment but I'm sure she's a decent person. Now everyone has a perception of her and she has to live with it. I'm sure watching her as a Sky fan is probably different because you actually get to see her more whereas everyone else is just basing who she is off the hard foul.
