WNBA Finals RematchThe Sky and Mercury are set to play each other for the first time in 2015. The two teams last met in the 2014 WNBA Finals, in which the Mercury swept the Sky three games to none. In game three of the WNBA Finals on September 12th, the Mercury defeated the Sky 87-82 despite 23 points from Elena Delle Donne and 19 from Allie Quigley.
Sky Acquire De Souza in Blockbuster TradeThe Sky acquired veteran center Erika De Souza from the Atlanta Dream as part of a three-team deal that sent center Sylvia Fowles and the Sky’s second round pick in the 2016 Draft to Minnesota. Atlanta recieves Lynx forwards Damiris Dantas & Reshanda Gray and Minnesota’s first-round pick in the 2016 Draft. During the first half of the season, De Souza averaged 8.6 points and 7.5 rebounds.
Sky All-StarsElena Delle Donne and Cappie Pondexter represented the Sky in the 2015 WNBA All-Star game presented by Boost Mobile on July 25th in Connecticut. Delle Donne was the league’s leading vote getter and a starter for the East while Pondexter was selected by WNBA coaches as a reserve. Delle Donne played in her first All-Star game while Pondexter played in her seventh. Delle Donne scored 16 points and grabbed eight rebounds in the game while Pondexter added four points and five rebounds.
Delle Donne Wins Player of the MonthElena Delle Donne received the Eastern Conference Player of the Month award for the month of June. Delle Donne led the league in June averaging 28.7 points per game for the month. She also led the Eastern Conference in rebounding (9.9 rpg) and blocks (2.6 bpg). Delle Donne made 91-93 free throws during the month of June, good for 97.8%.
EDD’s Double-DoublesThrough her first 17 games of the season, Elena Delle Donne has recorded a league-leading nine double-doubles. In those nine games, Delle Donne has averaged 23.9 ppg and 11.6 rpg, includ-ing a record- setting 45-point, 11-rebound performance in an overtime victory over Atlanta on June 24th.
Pondexter Named Player of the WeekCappie Pondexter was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week for the week of 7/6-7/12. Pondexter scored 24 points vs. Minnesota on July 10th and then scored a season-high 29 points vs. Connecticut on July 12th. She shot 8-9 (.889) from the three-point line for the week and shot a blistering 11-14 (.786) from the field vs. Connecticut.
Vandersloot Among WNBA Leaders in AssistsSky point guard Courtney Vandersloot is currently ranked second in the WNBA in assists per game (5.0), behind only the Seattle Storm’s Sue Bird (5.4 apg). Vandersloot is one of only three players in the WNBA averaging over five assists per game. She recorded a season-high 10 assists vs. New York on June 30th.
Home Cookin’The Sky have the best home record in the WNBA’s Eastern Conference so far this season, post-ing a 7-1 record in games played at Allstate Arena. The Sky’s 7-1 home record is the best home record in the entire WNBA. The Sky have only started 7-1 at home one other time in franchise history, in the 2013 season.
Delle Donne’s Historic NightOn June 24th vs. Atlanta, Elena Delle Donne scored a career-high 45 points and recorded a ca-reer high six blocks. Delle Donne went 19-19 from the free throw line vs. Atlanta, recording the third most free throws made in a game in WNBA history. She is one of 12 players in WNBA history to score 40+ points in a game and is one of five WNBA players to record two different 40+ point games in a career.
When Delle Donne Scores 20+...The Sky’s chances to win increase tremendously when Elena Delle Donne is able to score consis-tently. Since her career began in 2013, the Sky have a 25-7 record when Delle Donne scores at least 20 points. However, when Delle Donne has not scored 20 during that span, the Sky’s record falls to 25-28.
When At Least Four Sky Players Score in Double-Figures...The Sky is 9-2 this season when four or more players on the team score in double-figures. Most recently, in the Sky’s win over the Dream on July 21st, Delle Donne, Quigley, Vandersloot and Pondexter scored in double-figures.
Vandersloot and Delle Donne Reach 1,000 PointsCourtney Vandersloot scored her 1,000th career WNBA point vs. Atlanta on June 19th. She be-came the seventh Sky player to reach the milestone. One day later on June 20th vs. San Antonio, Elena Delle Donne scored her 1,000th career WNBA point. Delle Donne is the eighth Sky player to score 1,000 points and did so in the least amount of games in Sky history (52 games). Delle Donne is also the third fastest in WNBA history to reach the 1,000 points mark.
Scoring EightyWhen the Sky’s offense is clicking, they are very difficult to beat. Since the beginning of the 2010 season, the team is 56-15 when they score 80 or more points. This season, the Sky is 10-2 when they eclipse the 80-point mark.
EDD at the Free Throw LineFree throws come naturally for the Sky’s star player Elena Delle Donne. In her most recent streak, Delle Donne hit 54 consecutive free throws, setting a Sky franchise record. In her WNBA career, Delle Donne has never missed two consecutive free throws and is 119 of 125 in the 2015 season.
The Importance of the AssistThe Sky’s success is dictated heavily by their ability to effectively pass the ball on the offensive end of the floor. Since the beginning of the 2013 season, the Sky have posted a fantastic 40-13 record when they have collected 15 or more assists in a game. However, when they have amassed fewer than 15 assists, the Sky’s record over the same period is merely 9-22.
Coach Chatman’s Outstanding TenureThe 2015 season marks Chicago Sky Head Coach and General Manager Pokey Chatman’s fifth year with the team. Chatman is the longest consecutive Sky coach in franchise history. Among the current WNBA coaching staff, the Minnesota Lynx’s Head Coach Cheryl Reeve has the longest running coaching tenure, as she has coached the Lynx since 2010. Chatman and San Antonio Head Coach Dan Hughes have the second longest running coaching tenures with their respective teams, both having coached their teams for five succeeding seasons.
First Round Draft PickThe Sky made three draft picks in the 2015 WNBA draft, including the selection of former Middle Tennessee State University graduate Cheyenne Parker 5th overall. During her senior year, Park-er averaged 17.8 points and 10.6 rebounds after transferring from High Point University, where she won the Defensive Player of the Year Award her sophomore and junior seasons.
Magellan Sponsorship Makes Team HistoryFor the first time in team history, the Sky has signed an extension to their current deal with Magellan, a Sky partner since 2014 and a specialty steel distributor, adding the corporation’s logo to the left shoulder of the Sky jerseys. In addition, the two will collaborate on the promotion of a number of charitable organizations supported by Magellan, including Gilda’s Club, La Rabida Children’s Hospital, The Old Town School of Folk Music, and the DuSable Museum of African American History.
Sky Welcome New Broadcasting DuoIn 2015, the Chicago Sky welcomes a new broadcasting duo in Eric Collins and Stephen Bardo. A Chicago native, Collins will serve as the play-by-play broadcaster and Bardo will serve as the color analyst. Collins served as the Sky’s play-by-play announcer for the team’s first three seasons (2006-2008). Since then he’s emerged as one of the most versatile announcers in the country, splitting his time with the BIG 10 Network and FOX Sports 1. Prior to that Collins spent six years at ESPN (2004-2009) covering a wide-range of sports. Bardo, who began his broadcast career in 2000, has extensive experience having served as a color analyst for college basketball on ESPN and the Big Ten Network.

On October 29, 2010, Pokey Chatman became the fourth head coach in the history of the Chicago Sky. The 2015 WNBA season marks her fifth season at the helm in Chicago. Chatman came to the Sky following three years of coaching women’s professional basketball in Russia and 15 years on the coaching staff at Louisiana State, her alma mater.
She served two seasons as an assistant coach of Russian Spartak Moscow Region before being promoted to head coach in 2010. That year, Chatman led the team to a perfect 16-0 record and the 2010 Euroleague Championship. Chatman also coached the Slovakian national women’s team from 2008-2010. In 2009, Chatman took the traditionally unsuccessful Slovakian squad to the EuroBasket Final in Riga, where they narrowly missed a spot in the FIBA World Championships.
Chatman was named head coach of the LSU Lady Tigers in the 2003-2004 season. She went a remarkable 47-3 in her first 50 games as head coach, the second best starting record for a head coach in women’s basketball history. Chatman was named the U.S. Basketball Writers Associaton National Coach of the Year, WBCA National Coach of the Year, Naismith National Coach of the Year and the Victor Award Female Coach of the Year for the 2003-2004 season. In her time as the LSU head coach (2004-2007), Chat-man led the Lady Tigers to three straight Final Fours and overall 106-19 record.
Chatman also served as an assistant coach at LSU from 1992-2004 and played at LSU from 1987-1991. As a player at LSU, Chatman let the Lady Tigers to their first ever SEC Tournament Title in 1991 and was named the MVP of the SEC Tournament. She was named All-SEC three times, was an All-American in 1991 and set 20 school records at LSU. Chatman also has won two gold medals with USA Basketball. One as a player with the Junior National Team in 1987 and one as an assistant coach of the World University Team in 2005.
Chatman is a native of Ama, Louisiana. She earned her bachelor’s degree from LSU in 1991.
