Sky Guard Skylar Diggins to Miss the Rest of the Season because of a Knee Injury
The Sky said the decision followed talks with Diggins, her team and medical staff, and that it will protect her long-term health.
- On Tuesday, the Chicago Sky announced that guard Skylar Diggins will miss the remainder of the 2026 WNBA season to focus on recovering from an aggravated right knee injury.
- Diggins has been sidelined since the July 3 game against the Las Vegas Aces, having played through knee discomfort all season following surgery on her right knee last October.
- In 19 starts for Chicago, the seven-time All-Star averaged 14.2 points and 4.9 assists per game, performing under a fully guaranteed two-year contract signed in April.
- General Manager Jeff Pagliocca stated the team made this decision to "prioritize Skylar's long-term health after collaboration and communication with Skylar and her team, Sky doctors, and the organization's medical staff."
- With the Sky finishing at 15-25 and missing the postseason, the organization now faces questions about the roster's future and Diggins' long-term role with the franchise.
