Courtney Vandersloot Expected to Return for Chicago Sky Friday

Chicago adds a veteran floor general whose presence could reshape the point-guard rotation after Rickea Jackson's ACL tear.

Overview

Vandersloot is expected to make her season debut Friday against the Portland Fire after more than a year of rehab for a torn ACL.
The Sky listed her as questionable on the availability report and cleared a roster spot by waiving hardship signee Saylor Poffenbarger to activate her.
Vandersloot has been practicing fully since early June and ramped up live work in recent weeks before the expected return.
Her presence will force coach Tyler Marsh to adjust minutes for Skylar Diggins, Natasha Cloud and others as Chicago looks for offensive cohesion.
A longtime franchise leader chasing the WNBA career assists mark, Vandersloot's comeback offers immediate on-court help and furthers her pursuit of the all-time assists record.
