Not listed on injury report Coulibaly (coach's decision) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against Toronto.

Impact Coulibaly isn't listed on the initial report but may still be ruled out ahead of tipoff to preserve her eligibility. However, Gabriela Jaquez (knee), Courtney Vandersloot (knee) and DiJonai Carrington (foot) have all been ruled out, so it wouldn't be shocking if Coulibaly suited up.

Won't go Saturday Coulibaly (coach's decision) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Lynx, Kareem Copeland of ESPN reports.

Impact After playing in four of Chicago's five games to begin the regular season, Coulibaly will take a seat with Azura Stevens (knee) returning to action. Coulibaly is signed to a developmental contract and can be active for only 12 regular-season games. Her next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against Toronto.

Logs eight points off bench Coulibaly finished Friday's 91-83 loss to the Mercury with eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal over 16 minutes.

Impact Coulibaly was a healthy DNP in the Sky's win over the Valkyries on Wednesday, but she saw an extended run during the second half of Friday's contest after Skylar Diggins left the game due to an eye injury. Coulibaly ended up leading the Sky's bench in points, and she would be in line for an expanded role against the Lynx on Sunday if Diggins is unable to suit up for that game.

Signs with Sky Coulibaly signed a developmental contract with the Sky on Thursday.

Impact The Sky quickly scooped Coulibaly back up after placing her on waivers May 4. The No. 22 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft will be eligible to appear in 12 regular-season contests for the Sky.

Let go by Chicago The Sky waived Coulibaly on Monday, Meghan L. Hall of USA Today reports.

Starting preseason opener Coulibaly will start Saturday's preseason game against the Mercury.

Impact Coulibaly was selected with the 22nd overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft and will compete for a spot on the regular-season roster after not making the team last season. She'll be joined in the starting five by Skylar Diggins, Jacy Sheldon, Rickea Jackson and Kamilla Cardoso in the Sky's preseason opener.

APRIL 25 • ROTOWIRE

Signs with Sky Coulibaly signed a rookie-scale contract with the Sky on Monday.

Impact The No. 22 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft out of Texas A&M didn't make the final roster last time around, but the Sky are bringing her back for another look. She averaged 15.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.0 steals in 30.7 minutes per game in her final four seasons at the college level.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Not on final roster Coulibaly is not listed on Chicago's final roster.

Impact Although Coulibaly did not make the cut, the Sky will retain her rights as a reserved player. The No. 22 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft out of Texas A&M will have to wait a while longer before appearing in the WNBA.

Appears to be fully healthy Coulibaly (knee) appears to be fully healthy as the Sky begin training camp, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports Sunday.

Impact Coulibaly missed the second half of her final collegiate season at Texas A&M due to a knee injury, but head coach Tyler Marsh said Sunday that the Sky are fully healthy as they begin training camp. Coulibaly was a second-round pick by Chicago and will need to compete for a role in the backcourt ahead of the 2025 campaign. However, she could struggle to find much playing time since the team has plenty of veteran guards.

APRIL 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Heading to Chicago Coulibaly was selected by Chicago with the No. 22 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft on Monday.

Impact Coulibaly spent her first three collegiate seasons at Auburn but played for Texas A&M over the last two years. She had a limited role with the Tigers as a freshman but had more success over her last four seasons in college, averaging 15.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.0 steals in 30.7 minutes per game. However, she suffered a knee injury in January and was forced to miss the second half of the 2024-25 campaign. It's not yet clear whether her injury will impact her availability for the start of the 2025 WNBA season, but even if she's healthy, she's unlikely to have a very fantasy-relevant role behind Ariel Atkins, Courtney Vandersloot and fellow rookie Hailey Van Lith.
