Sky re-sign All-Star guards Allie Quigley, Courtney Vandersloot

The 2021 WNBA champion Chicago Sky are keeping the power-couple backcourt of Allie Quigley and Courtney Vandersloot together to try and run it back next season.

During last season's championship run, Quigley and Vandersloot — who have been married since 2018 — started and played in all 10 postseason games, with both athletes averaging double figures in scoring. Quigley finished the 2021 playoffs second on the team in scoring (15.2) while shooting 41.7% from the field, 36.5% from beyond the arc and a perfect 25-for-25 from the free throw line.

Vandersloot, meanwhile, averaged a double-double in the 10 contests with 13 points and a team-leading 10.2 assists, while contributing 1.5 steals per tilt in a team-high 34.4 minutes per game. It was the Sky's first WNBA title.

The 35-year-old Quigley was selected in the second round of the 2008 WNBA Draft by the Seattle Storm but was waived one month later. Following two seasons with the Phoenix Mercury, then three games with the Indiana Fever and four games with the defunct San Antonio Silver Stars in 2010, followed by seven contests with the Storm in 2011, Quigley found her way to Chicago in 2013, and her career has taken off.

The American-Hungarian captured back-to-back Sixth Woman of the Year Awards in 2014 and 2015 and earned three straight All-Star appearances from 2017 to 2019, all while playing alongside Vandersloot, who was picked third overall by the Sky in 2011. Vandersloot was named an All-Star and to the All-Rookie Team that year, and she has racked up significant accolades over the decade-plus.

The 33-year-old was named Second-Team All-WNBA in both 2015 and 2018, before earning First-Team honors — plus her second All-Star nod — for the first time in 2019. Behind career-highs in points (13.6) and assists per game (10), Vandersloot earned First-Team All-WNBA honors again in 2020 before making her third All-Star team and Second-Team All-WNBA in 2021.
