Overview
- Kentucky announced Wednesday it signed Ajša Sivka, a 20-year-old Slovenian guard drafted No. 10 by the Chicago Sky in 2025.
- The WNBA confirmed Chicago retains exclusive negotiating rights while she plays college basketball.
- Sivka did not sign with the Sky after the draft and spent 2025 in Europe, including a season with Spain’s Joventut Badalona and games with Slovenia’s national team.
- USA TODAY reported the Sky could keep her rights for up to a year after she finishes college, and the NCAA will determine how much eligibility she has.
- Her draft-to-college move is unusual in the WNBA and raises open questions about her classification and earliest entry timing now that she is an NCAA player.
