Sky sign Kia Nurse to 1-year deal
The Chicago Sky are signing Kia Nurse to a one-year deal, her agent told ESPN's Alexa Philippou.
Nurse spent last season with the Los Angeles Sparks, averaging 7.6 points and shooting 33.1% from beyond the arc over 40 appearances.
It was her second consecutive healthy season. Nurse missed the entire 2022 campaign after tearing her ACL in Game 4 of the 2021 WNBA Finals while playing for the Phoenix Mercury.
Nurse's best season came in 2019 when she averaged a career-high 13.7 points and earned her lone All-Star nod.
The New York Liberty selected Nurse with the No. 10 pick in 2018 following her standout career with UConn.
The 6-foot guard's 3-and-D skill set should help a Sky squad that finished eighth in defensive rating and last in threes made.
Chicago also reportedly acquired Rebecca Allen from the Connecticut Sun and brought back veteran point guard Courtney Vandersloot.
