Natasha Cloud - WNBA News, Rumors, & Updates

Shooting woes in blowout loss Cloud chipped in six points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 31 minutes in Friday's 79-58 loss to Minnesota.

Impact After scoring 18 points on 7-of-8 shooting from the field in Wednesday's loss to Toronto, Cloud struggled mightily on the offensive end Friday. The veteran guard scored in single digits for the second time over the last three games and for the fourth time through seven regular-season appearances. However, she still supplied a season-high three combined steals-plus-blocks, finishing with multiple steals for the second time on the campaign.

Will play Friday Cloud (illness) is available for Friday's game against Minnesota.

Impact Cloud is available to play through an illness Friday and should be able to handle her normal workload, barring any setbacks. She's started four consecutive games for the Sky, averaging 14.0 points, 5.5 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 32.6 minutes per contest during that stretch, and Cloud should see more usage in the absence of Gabriela Jaquez (knee).

Downgraded to questionable Cloud (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against Minnesota, WNBA reporter Kareem Copeland reports.

Impact Cloud was a late addition to a growing injury report. If she's unable to play, the Sky will likely lean more on Jacy Sheldon and Rachel Banham.

Nearly perfect from floor Cloud contributed 18 points (7-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 111-104 loss to the Tempo.

Impact Cloud has started in each of the Sky's last four games and has been productive, scoring in double digits three times but also thriving as a playmaker. She has dished out at least five assists in four of her last five appearances as well, and that ability to make an impact in multiple areas makes her a reliable fantasy option in most formats, especially now that she has moved to the starting unit. In four starts, Cloud is averaging 14.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game.

Impact With Skylar Diggins (eye) inactive, Cloud drew the start Sunday and made the most of the opportunity with double-digit scoring and notable contributions across the board, culminating in a game-high plus-13 plus-minus. After missing the regular-season opener due to illness, the veteran guard is averaging 8.3 points, 4.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds across 24.3 minutes through three contests.

Starts in second half vs. Phoenix Cloud totaled seven points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 23 minutes during Friday's 91-83 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Cloud has come off the bench in each of her two regular-season appearances, but she started in the second half of Friday's game after Skylar Diggins left due to an eye injury. Cloud led the Sky with seven dimes, and she would be in line to start against the Lynx on Sunday if Diggins is not cleared to play.

Quiet in win over Golden State Cloud (illness) finished with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and four rebounds across 18 minutes in Wednesday's 69-63 win over the Valkyries.

Impact Cloud wasn't available versus Portland to begin the season. While she was able to suit up for this contest, she didn't do much despite leading the bench in minutes. The 34-year-old averaged 10.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.3 blocks across 29.0 minutes in 41 regular-season appearances with the Liberty in 2025. However, unless she sees more action or enters the starting lineup with Chicago, it may be difficult for her to match that level of production.

Available versus Golden State Cloud (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against Golden State.

Impact Cloud didn't suit up for the win over the Fire to begin the 2026 campaign. However, after being listed as questionable for the meeting with the Valkyries, she is now officially cleared to make her first appearance of the season. The 34-year-old appeared in 41 regular-season games for the Liberty in 2025, averaging 10.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.3 blocks over 29.0 minutes. Cloud's availability will presumably mean less work for Jacy Sheldon, Rachel Banham and Gabriela Jaquez.

"That's why HVL got cut" - WNBA Fans Go Wild as Natasha Cloud Replaces Hailey Van Lith on Chicago Sky Natasha Cloud will be playing for the Chicago Sky in the 2026 WNBA season. The Sky made some big moves during this offseason.

MAY 4 • SPORTSKEEDA.COM

Signs with Chicago Cloud signed a one-year, $555,000 contract with the Sky on Monday.

Impact Cloud has been productive throughout most of her 10 seasons in the WNBA, and she's maintained that production while playing for several teams across the past few seasons, as she spent her last season in Washington in 2023 before joining the Mercury in 2024 and the Liberty in 2025. She went unsigned during the 2026 preseason but will get another change of scenery for this season. The Sky parted ways with Hailey Van Lith on Monday, and Cloud will join a backcourt that features plenty of veteran talent, including Skylar Diggins (personal) and Courtney Vandersloot (knee). It's not yet clear whether Vandersloot will be ready for Saturday's Opening Night matchup against Portland, but Cloud could have an opportunity to step into a prominent role right away in 2026.
