Sydney Taylor emerges as scoring leader for Chicago Sky in WNBA
Summary

Sydney Taylor, a rookie for the Chicago Sky, has become the team's leading scorer this season, averaging 14.7 points per game. Recently, she has increased her performance, scoring 20.3 points per game over her last eight outings. Despite the Sky holding a 12–20 record and likely missing the playoffs, Taylor's rise is notable after she went undrafted in 2024. Her success follows two years playing in Europe, where she developed her skills before joining the Sky on a minimum contract. General Manager Jeff Pagliocca highlighted her confidence and determination as key factors in her breakout performance.
