What happened: The Chicago Sky have waived forward Saylor Poffenbarger, the team confirmed. The move trims Chicago's depth as the club sets its roster for the 2026 WNBA regular season.

Why it matters: Roster spots are scarce across the WNBA's 12-player limit, and waiving Poffenbarger opens a slot as Chicago shapes its rotation. Decisions like this reflect the tight margins front offices manage while balancing depth and fit through the season.

What to watch: Poffenbarger could draw interest from other clubs if she clears waivers, while Chicago's remaining roster choices bear watching as the season progresses.
