The Chicago Sky say goodbye to Teresa Weatherspoon after a season of ups and downs! Find out why this hall-of-famer won't be leading them next year!

The Chicago Sky have added a new chapter to their turbulent saga by firing head coach Teresa Weatherspoon after just a single season at the helm. Known for her Hall of Fame playing career and notable defensive skills, Weatherspoon was brought in to inspire and guide the Sky through their next chapter. However, after a disappointing 2024 season that resulted in a 13-27 record and the team's first missed playoff appearance in six years, the organization decided it was time to make a drastic change. With two of the WNBA's most promising rookies on the roster, hopes were high, but alas, the Sky's shooting star fell short.
