Chicago Sky shut down Skylar Diggins for the remainder of the season

The Chicago Sky announced they are shutting down veteran guard Skylar Diggins for the remainder of the WNBA season to manage a right knee injury. Diggins finishes her campaign having appeared in 19 games for the team. This marks her first season with the organization, during which she averaged 14.2 points and shot.392 from the field. Following a period of benching in July, the guard did not return to the court before the team confirmed she would miss the rest of the year. The move follows a public expression of frustration from Diggins regarding her playing time earlier in the summer. The team stated the decision prioritizes the player's long-term health as she recovers.
