Key moves around 2025–2026: The Sky underwent significant restructuring in 2025, including bringing back veteran point guard Courtney Vandersloot and adding several new faces through signings and camp contracts; Arella Guirantes joined on a training camp deal in 2025 as part of ongoing roster shaping. This signals a period of turnover as the team rebuilt around core pieces.[1]

2025 midseason/season activity: The Sky executed a handful of roster changes, including waivers and signings, as they navigated a competitive season and attempted to stabilize the rotation; Sevgi Uzun was brought in on a rest-of-season contract, and Marquesha Davis was briefly signed before being released, reflecting volatile roster depth and experimentation. ESPN’s transaction log confirms several accompanying moves around spring and summer 2025.[2][3]

2026 outlook and reporting: In early 2026, outlets highlighted further roster activity, with reporting of trades and acquisitions such as Rickea Jackson joining the Sky and Ariel Atkins moving to the Sparks, indicating continued reshaping ahead of the 2026 season. Contemporary coverage from Bleacher Report and FOX Sports in April 2026 shows ongoing interest in Sky roster composition and player changes as the season approaches.[4][5][7]
Illustration of typical roster dynamics:
- Training camp contracts and waivers are common in the offseason as teams evaluate depth.
- Veteran re-signings (like Vandersloot) can anchor a roster while younger players push for rotation spots.
- Midseason signings/rest-of-season deals fill immediate needs, with subsequent waivers adjusting depth.
