Sky's Courtney Vandersloot tears right ACL, will miss rest of season after leaving loss to Fever early

The Sky quickly ruled her out for the rest of the game. Then on Sunday, the team confirmed that she tore her right ACL, which ended her season.

Courtney Vandersloot underwent an MRI yesterday that revealed a right torn anterior crucial ligament (ACL), an injury she sustained in the June 7th game against Indiana. Vandersloot will miss the remainder of the 2025 WNBA season and undergo surgery to repair the injury.

The injury put a major damper on what was supposed to be a marquee event for not just the hosting Sky, but the WNBA overall. Saturday was the first time the Sky were playing at the United Center, home of the Chicago Bulls and Chicago Blackhawks, and there was some speculation the rivalry game could break the WNBA attendance record.

1. Saw it on WGN sports this morning.

Driving to the hoop, suddenly her leg just collapsed and she went down in a heap in obvious agony.

2. I bet it's the end of her playing days.

3. I would hope not.

But then she's a 14 year pro and is 36 years old so she may decide to call it a career.

4. My son tore his right knee acl playing football

as a running back in high-school. He went on and played two years in college and tore his left knee acl on a snow covered football field. After the second surgery he stopped playing football.

She may comeback.

5. She's 36 and already nearing the end of her career.

Bur probably has the potential to be a great coach.
