Seven-time All-Star guard Skylar Diggins signed as a free agent with the Chicago Sky, the team announced Saturday.
Terms weren’t divulged, but reports pointed to a two-year deal.
Diggins, 35, has career averages of 16.4 points, 5.3 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 335 games over 11 seasons.
“Skylar is a player we have coveted for years. We are ecstatic to bring her to Chicago,” Sky general manager Jeff Pagliocca said in a news release. “She is one of the all-time elite passers in our game and continues to play at a high level on both sides of the ball.”
Diggins ranks eighth in WNBA history with 1,768 career assists and 25th with 5,489 points. She spent the past two seasons with the Seattle Storm. Last year, she averaged 15.5 points and 6.0 assists in 43 games.
“Diggins is the kind of player who elevates everyone around her,” Chicago coach Tyler Marsh said. “Skylar is a true veteran leader, and she possesses unmatched speed and shot creation potential. I can’t wait to work with her.”
The Sky also signed forward Azura Stevens to a reported three-year deal and acquired guard Jacy Sheldon from the Washington Mystics for a first-round draft pick in 2028 on Saturday.
Earlier in the week, Chicago dealt rebounding force Angel Reese to the Atlanta Dream for two first-round picks (2027, 2028) and the option to swap second-round picks in 2028.
