In a surprising turn of events, the Chicago Sky announced they have parted ways with head coach Derek Fisher, who was brought on to revive the team after a tough start to the season. Known for his strategic acumen, Fisher’s tenure with the Sky was initially met with optimism. However, following a series of lackluster performances and internal conflicts, the organization opted for a fresh start. Assistant coach and former WNBA star Teresa Weatherspoon has now stepped into the interim head coach role.
This shake-up comes alongside an unexpected decision by Angel Reese, the star forward known for her dominance in women’s college basketball. While Reese had been linked with a potential early entry into the WNBA, she has opted to stay at LSU for another season, prioritizing her development and loyalty to her collegiate team. Reese’s decision has surprised many, with fans and analysts predicting a significant impact on the draft pool.
The Chicago Sky are now on the hunt for a new head coach to lead the team long-term, and with Reese staying in college, they’ll need to refocus their scouting efforts as they look to bolster the roster for next season.
