Skylar Diggins signs with the Chicago Sky; Satou Sabally joins the New York Liberty
Diggins averaged 15.5 points and 6.0 assists last season, while Sabally averaged 16.3 points and 5.9 rebounds for Phoenix.
- On Saturday, seven-time All-Star Skylar Diggins signed a two-year contract with the Chicago Sky as WNBA free agents officially began signing, while Satou Sabally's move to the New York Liberty was confirmed by agent Zack Miller.
- Diggins departs the Seattle Storm after two disappointing seasons, including a 23-21 record in 2025 that fell short of expectations and culminated in the firing of head coach Noelle Quinn.
- The 35-year-old averaged 15.5 points and 6.0 assists last season while shooting 36.5 percent from three-point range, a career-best clip since 2021. Her move brings her closer to South Bend, Indiana, where she grew up.
- Sabally, a three-time All-Star averaging 16.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists, joins an established New York roster featuring returners Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu. Chicago bolstered its backcourt by agreeing to a three-year deal with forward Azurá Stevens and trading for guard Jacy Sheldon.
- Diggins will turn 36 midway through the 2026 season, entering a phase where aging curves can affect veteran performance. Her career 32.6 percent three-point shooting rate and six instances of dipping below 30 percent through 11 years suggest potential regression ahead.
