Chicago Sky make announcement on star rookie

The Chicago Sky experienced another disappointing season, missing the playoffs for the third straight year. The good news is some of their players emerged as bright spots, including Sydney Taylor. They announced their star rookie’s new achievement on social media on Monday.

Taylor signed a training camp deal with the team in April after going undrafted in the 2024 WNBA Draft. She made the final roster after impressing in the preseason. The Louisville product started the campaign as a reserve before becoming a regular part of the starting unit. She became the second player in league history to record 30 points in 21 minutes or less. Taylor also etched her name in the history books as the fourth rookie with multiple games of at least 25 points off the bench in the same season.

She earned All-Rookie Team honors and has given Sky fans more reason to be excited about the future. Taylor’s scoring and playmaking will be key in Chicago’s attempt to break its three-year playoff drought.
