"I still have a lot to give": Courtney Vandersloot on what she expects to achieve in her return to Chicago

Courtney Vandersloot spent the first 12 seasons of her career with the Chicago Sky, where she flourished into one of the best playmakers in the WNBA. She led the Sky to a WNBA Championship in 2021 and left for the New York Liberty ahead of the 2023 season.

Vandersloot won another championship in New York in 2024 and believes she will be the same player that left Chicago in 2022. The 36-year-old is confident in her abilities and spoke candidly when asked about her expectations for the upcoming season:

"I was so young at the start and then I grew up and became an adult there. It’s been a couple years and I’m a little older now, I guess, but I still feel the same. I still have a lot to give. It’s going to be the same old Sloot.”

If Courtney Vandersloot still has the energy to play like her Chicago Sky self, then this team could surprise many this season.
