The Chicago Sky have finalized their 2025 WNBA roster after making their final training camp cuts.

On Sunday, the team announced that three players—Alex Wilson, Jessika Carter, and Morgan Bertsch—were cut. 12 players remain on the roster with WNBA opening night just a few days away.

The cuts mean that 2025 draftees Hailey Van Lith (selected 11th overall) and Maddy Westbeld (selected 16th) are in good shape to make the final roster.
