The 2025 Chicago Sky season is the franchise's 20th season in the Women's National Basketball Association, and their first season under head coach Tyler Marsh, who was hired on November 3, 2024. [1]
On May 18, 2025, the WNBA announced they had opened an investigation regarding, "allegations of inappropriate fan conduct" directed at Chicago Sky players occurring their May 17 season opener at the Indiana Fever. [2] [3] Sky head coach, Tyler Marsh, told the press that he and his team did not report or witness any misconduct while at Gainbridge Fieldhouse and only learned about the allegations after the game had concluded. [4] Nine days later, the WNBA announced their investigation was complete, and all allegations of racist fan behavior were unsubstantiated. [5] [6] [7]
On June 8, 2025, it was announced that newly signed guard, Courtney Vandersloot, sustained a right anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear during the June 7 game against the Indiana Fever and would miss the rest of the season. [8]
