WNBA: Sky guard Jacy Sheldon turns heads at Sox game

Jacy Sheldon is playing her first season with the Chicago Sky after being traded from the Washington Mystics. She is currently averaging 6.6 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists.

The fifth overall pick of the 2024 WNBA Draft spent the majority of the 2025 season with the Connecticut Sun before a mid-season trade to the Washington Mystics.

Sheldon has been a solid rotation piece for the Sky. However, they are currently 13th in the WNBA standings. Chicago is 9-18 this season.

The 2021 WNBA Champions last made the playoffs in 2023. Since then, they have yet to crack more than 13 wins in a season.
