What happened: Former WNBA standout Courtney Paris has joined the Chicago Sky's coaching staff. Paris most recently served as an assistant coach for the Dallas Wings under Latricia Trammell from 2023-24. She was also on the coaching staff at her alma mater, Oklahoma, from 2020-21.

Why it matters: The hire adds frontcourt-minded coaching experience as Chicago looks to steady an 0-3 start to the 2026 season, including a 90-72 loss to Washington. Paris brings recent bench experience from a Dallas program she helped guide, giving the Sky another developmental voice for their post players.

What to watch: Watch how Paris is deployed across the staff and whether her addition sharpens the Sky's frontcourt as they chase a first win.
