Courtney Vandersloot, the veteran point guard for the Chicago Sky, suffered a right knee injury in the first quarter of their game against the Indiana Fever, leading to her being ruled out for the remainder of the match. Sky's coach, Tyler Marsh, emphasized Vandersloot's importance as the team's captain and leader. The incident is particularly significant as she is a seasoned player, having spent most of her career in Chicago, where she is the active career leader in assists. The Sky and Fever match was historic, being the first WNBA game held at the United Center.
"She's our engine," Sky coach Tyler Marsh said. "She's our captain and our leader out there, so obviously it's a huge blow. But hopefully it's not as serious as we may think."
Vandersloot is the WNBA's active career leader in assists with 2,886, trailing only retired former Seattle Storm guard Sue Bird (3,234). She's been crucial for her team.
