Skylar Diggins’ Season Is Over… But She’s Not Done With the Chicago Sky | World Cup + NCAA

Skylar Diggins’ 2026 WNBA season is officially over after the Chicago Sky announced she will miss the remainder of the season while recovering from a lingering right knee injury. But this isn’t the last time we’ll see Skylar in a Sky jersey.

We break down what the injury means for Diggins, the Chicago Sky and what comes next for one of the league’s biggest stars.

Plus, we look ahead to the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup and ask: Who can actually challenge Team USA? France, Belgium, Australia, Japan, China and Nigeria all have reasons to believe they can make a run.

And finally, there is BIG money entering women’s sports. The 2026 Players Era Women’s Basketball Showcase is set to feature a seven-figure NIL pool, with powerhouse programs including South Carolina, USC, Texas and Duke heading to Las Vegas.
