Sitting out Thursday Coulibaly (knee) is out for Thursday's game against the Mystics

Ruled out against Toronto Coulibaly (knee) is listed as out for Tuesday's game versus the Tempo.

Impact Coulibaly is battling a knee injury and will miss her first game since the 93-86 victory over the Liberty on Aug. 18. As a result, Gabriela Jaquez and Rachel Banham are candidates for more minutes.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Tuesday Coulibaly (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game versus Toronto.

Impact Coulibaly has been dealing with some discomfort in her right knee since late August, but thus far, it hasn't required her to miss a game. We'll have a better idea on Coulibaly's status based on her activity level at shootaround, but if she can't give it a go, Gabriela Jaquez and Rachel Banham would help fill the void.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 11 in defeat Coulibaly chipped in 11 points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and one assist in 15 minutes during Saturday's 106-81 loss to the Dream.

Impact Coulibaly joined the starting lineup Saturday since both Natasha Cloud (knee) and Azura Stevens (knee) were sidelined. Coulibaly was productive from the floor and perfect from the charity stripe en route to matching the team's second-highest mark in the scoring column. She's played double-digit minutes in five consecutive appearances, averaging 7.2 points and 3.6 rebounds in 15.2 minutes per game during that time.

Impact Natasha Cloud (knee) and Azura Stevens (knee) are both sidelined for this contest, opening the door for Coulibaly to make her fifth start of the year.

Impact Coulibaly has had an inconsistent role for the Sky recently, as she shifted to a bench role in early August and totaled just two minutes of playing time over a two-game span last week. However, she's seen more minutes this week, playing at least 15 minutes in each of her last two outings. Since returning to a bench role, she's averaged 5.0 points and 2.9 rebounds in 14.1 minutes per game over seven appearances.

Impact Coulibaly's role with the Sky continues to fluctuate. The rookie guard reached double digits in scoring for just the third time this season in Sunday's rout, but Coulibaly played only two minutes Friday against Golden State and went unused off the bench Tuesday against the Liberty.

Available Friday Coulibaly (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Valkyries.

Low workload in win Coulibaly registered two points (1-2 FG) and two rebounds over 14 minutes during Sunday's 82-80 win over the Storm.

Impact Coulibaly was one of three reserves for Chicago to see 14 minutes Sunday. With an average of 13.7 minutes per contest this season, she remains off the fantasy radar in most leagues.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to bench Saturday Coulibaly is not listed in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus Indiana.

Impact Azura Stevens (personal) will return from a four-game absence Saturday, resulting in Coulibaly returning to the bench. In 16 regular-season games as a reserve during the 2026 campaign, the 24-year-old has averaged just 4.4 points and 2.7 rebounds across 12.1 minutes per contest.

AUGUST 8 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high 13 points in win Coulibaly contributed 13 points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 95-88 win over Los Angeles.

Impact Coulibaly drew a fourth straight start and scored a season-high 13 points, marking only her second outing in double figures. She should continue to see increased chances as long as Azura Stevens (personal), Sydney Taylor (groin) and Skylar Diggins (knee) remain unavailable.

Starting against Sun Coulibaly will start in Thursday's game versus Connecticut.

Impact Azura Stevens (personal) won't suit up, so Coulibaly will make her first career start in the game against the Sun. The 24-year-old has averaged just 4.4 points and 2.7 rebounds across 12.1 minutes during the 2026 campaign, though she could see a bump in production Wednesday.

JULY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high seven rebounds Coulibaly amassed eight points (2-3 FG, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 14 minutes during Tuesday's 77-66 win over the Mercury.

Impact Coulibaly pulled down a season-high seven boards Tuesday, but she still has just one double-digit scoring effort to her name in 2026. The rookie guard has averaged 4.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 13.5 minutes per contest across 12 games this season.

JULY 8 • ROTOWIRE
