MAY 4 • Associated Press

Cut loose by Sky Westbeld was waived by the Sky on Monday.

Impact The move comes as a bit of a surprise, given Westbeld had been set to enter the second season of her three-year rookie deal with Chicago. The 2025 second-rounder figures to draw some attention around the league, and it wouldn't be shocking if she found another home at some point during the regular season.

Good to go Wednesday Westbeld (reconditioning) is available for Wednesday's preseason game against the Dream.

Impact After missing Saturday's preseason game against the Mercury, Westbeld is no longer on the injury report. She's likely to see a modest workload as the Sky ease her into things.

Questionable for Wednesday Westbeld (reconditioning) is questionable for Wednesday's preseason game against the Dream, per WNBA reporter Kareem Copeland.

Impact Wednesday is Westbeld's last opportunity to see exhibition reps. That said, there's no indication she's in any danger of missing the onset of the regular season.

APRIL 28 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Saturday Westbeld (reconditioning) has been ruled out for Saturday's preseason game against the Mercury, per WNBA reporter Kareem Copeland.

Impact Westbeld sat out Sunday's practice due to a lower-body injury and will be held out of the Sky's preseason opener for reconditioning purposes. Her next chance to suit up in the preseason will come Wednesday against Atlanta.

APRIL 24 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with lower-body injury Westbeld was held out of practice Sunday due to a lower-body injury, Chicago State of Mind Sports reports.

Impact The severity of Westbeld's injury isn't yet known, but she was forced to miss the first day of training camp. It's not yet clear whether she'll suit up for Saturday's preseason opener against the Mercury. Westbeld made 26 regular-season appearances (one start) for the Sky in 2025 and averaged 4.1 points and 2.4 rebounds in 13.6 minutes per game.

Breanna Stewart scores 24 points and Liberty beat Sky 91-86 to finish season

Breanna Stewart scored 24 points, Rebekah Gardner had 15 and Emma Messemann added 14 as the New York Liberty beat the Chicago Sky 91-86

SEPTEMBER 12, 2025 • Associated Press

Scorches nets from deep Westbeld tallied 25 points (8-12 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Thursday's 91-86 loss to the Liberty.

Impact Westbeld made the most of her chances off the bench in this one, pouring in 15 of her 25 points from beyond the arc. She'll close out her rookie campaign on a high note, as Thursday's outburst was Westbeld's best scoring performance of the 2025 campaign, beating her previous high of 10 points Aug. 9 against Indiana.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Westbeld will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Aces.

Impact Westbeld got the start in the team's previous contest due to Angel Reese being suspended, but she will return to the bench with Elizabeth Williams taking Reese's starting spot Sunday. Westbeld has seen a limited role in her last three games off the bench, seeing just 9.3 minutes per contest.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will start sans Reece Westbeld will be in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Fever.

Impact With Reece serving a one-game suspension for being assessed an eighth technical foul, the team will turn to Westbeld to be a starter alongside Kamilla Cardoso in the frontcourt. It will be the first time she's been in the starting lineup during the 2025 campaign. She is currently averaging 3.0 points and 2.1 rebounds per game, shooting 32.9 percent from the floor and 34.5 percent from deep.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scoreless in 11 minutes Westbeld had zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and two assists in 11 minutes during Wednesday's 71-62 loss to Connecticut.

Impact This was Westbeld's lowest workload since July 29. She's had some positive moments off the bench lately, but her role is too inconsistent for fantasy managers to trust her most nights.

AUGUST 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores season high in loss Westbeld closed Saturday's 92-70 loss to the Fever with 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist across 22 minutes.

Impact The rookie scored a season-high mark in points, finishing as one of two Sky players in double figures. With Angel Reese (back) sidelined in the club's past five games, Westbeld has averaged 5.8 points and 3.2 rebounds while shooting 48.0 percent from the field across 17.2 minutes per game during that span.

Mitchell scores 26 to lead injury-riddled Fever past Sky 92-70

Kelsey Mitchell scored 26 points and Lexie Hull scored 17 points and the Indiana Fever beat the Chicago Sky 92-70

AUGUST 10, 2025 • Associated Press

Sees 15 minutes in loss Westbeld finished Thursday's 86-65 loss to Atlanta with six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 15 minutes.

Impact Despite the absence of Angel Reese (back), Westbeld has seen only a mild increase in minutes. She's seen 15 or fewer minutes in three of her last four games, though her role is worth monitoring closely down the stretch.

AUGUST 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited output off bench Westbeld posted two points (1-4 FG), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 13 minutes during Tuesday's 78-64 victory over the Mystics.

Impact After scoring nine points in 22 minutes in Sunday's blowout loss to the Mercury, Westbeld failed to make a big impact in her handful of minutes Tuesday. The Sky aren't playing much for these days, so maybe Westbeld can carve out a larger role to close out the season.

AUGUST 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Effective in 22 minutes Westbeld provided nine points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one block across 22 minutes during Sunday's 83-67 loss to the Mercury.

Impact After seeing a combined 20 minutes in her previous two outings, Westbeld took advantage of some garbage time Sunday. With the Sky sitting at 7-21 on the season, there's reason to believe that Westbeld could become more involved down the stretch.

AUGUST 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sees six minutes in loss Westbeld contributed no counting stats in six minutes during Tuesday's 103-86 loss to the Mystics.

Impact The Sky have numerous injuries right now, so it's pretty telling if Westbeld managed to see just six minutes Tuesday. She remains miles off the fantasy radar.

JULY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 23 minutes in loss Westbeld finished Sunday's 93-78 loss to the Fever with four points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and two steals over 23 minutes.

Impact Angel Reese (back), Ariel Atkins (leg) and Moriah Jefferson (leg) were all out for the Sky, allowing Westbeld to eclipse 23 minutes for the third time out of her last four appearances. She hasn't made much of an impact in fantasy, however, so she's just a short-term streamer in deeper formats for the moment.

JULY 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fares well in limited minutes Westbeld amassed nine points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound in 12 minutes during Tuesday's 91-68 loss to the Lynx.

Impact Ariel Atkins (leg) missed her second game in a row, and the Sky were blown out of this contest early, allowing Westbeld and Hailey Van Lith to see additional minutes. Westbeld has had some bright moments recently, and with the Sky continuing to struggle, she may be worth keeping an eye on.
