In a move that has electrified fans and sent shockwaves across the WNBA community, former Chicago Sky head coach and basketball icon Teresa Weatherspoon has made a triumphant return to the franchise — this time, as a Senior Coaching Advisor. The announcement was made earlier today by the team’s front office at a press conference held at the iconic Wintrust Arena.

Weatherspoon, a Hall of Famer and widely respected figure in women’s basketball, previously made history both as a player and coach. Known for her fiery leadership, defensive intensity, and unbreakable bond with her players, her return is being celebrated as a homecoming by Chicago Sky fans and former teammates alike.

“It’s not just about basketball. It’s about building champions — on and off the court,” Weatherspoon said during the press conference. “Chicago has always been in my heart. This team has the grit, the heart, and the fans who deserve greatness. I’m here to help bring that back.”

The Sky’s General Manager praised the hire, stating, “Coach Spoon brings a wealth of experience, energy, and a deep understanding of our team culture. Her presence will be felt immediately, both in strategy and spirit.”

Weatherspoon’s return comes at a crucial time for the Sky, who are currently rebuilding after a string of mixed performances this season. As a Senior Coaching Advisor, she will work closely with the coaching staff to shape team dynamics, player development, and in-game strategy — mentoring both rising stars and veterans.

Fans flooded social media with messages of excitement and nostalgia, many recalling Weatherspoon’s fierce coaching days and leadership style. Ticket sales reportedly spiked following the announcement, signaling a renewed wave of enthusiasm surrounding the team.

The Sky’s next home game is expected to be a sold-out event, as the city of Chicago prepares to welcome back one of its basketball legends. For now, all eyes are on Wintrust Arena — and the promising new chapter just beginning for the Chicago Sky.
