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.

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.

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.
