Former Chicago Sky Star 'Enjoyed Watching' 10 Angel Reese Haters
Diamond DeShields was amused by haters.

Waived by Connecticut
DeShields (ankle) was waived by the Sun on Thursday.
Impact
DeShields missed both of Connecticut's preseason games due to an ankle injury, but she appeared to be in the mix for a starting role in the regular season once she was healthy. However, she was unable to make the team's Opening Night roster. It's unclear whether her ankle injury factored into Thursday's move, but the Sun previously said that the injury wasn't believed to be a long-term concern. Aneesah Morrow (knee) will likely have an opportunity to take on a sizable role when she's healthy, while Olivia Nelson-Ododa and Robyn Parks could also see increased workloads alongside Tina Charles. DeShields averaged just 4.5 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 13.8 minutes per game over 32 regular-season appearances (10 starts) with Chicago last year, but she could draw interest from other teams during the 2025 campaign.

Ruled out for Friday's game
DeShields (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason game against New York.
Impact
The Sun previously indicated that DeShields' right ankle injury isn't a long-term concern, but she'll be unavailable for a second consecutive preseason matchup. She'll have just over a week to recover before Connecticut's regular-season opener against Washington on May 18. If DeShields is unavailable or limited against the Mystics, Olivia Nelson-Ododa could see an increased role.

Won't play Sunday
DeShields (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Sunday's preseason game against Seattle, Emily Adams of the Hartford Courant reports.
Impact
DeShields will miss the club's preseason opener, though her absence appears precautionary and shouldn't raise any long-term concerns. The 30-year-old forward's next chance to suit up during the preseason will come next Friday against the Liberty.
