The Sky took to social media on Tuesday to announce a major step in Vandersloot&#8217;s recovery.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Chicago Sky guard Courtney Vandersloot underwent successful surgery on a torn right anterior cruciate ligament, the team announced today. She remains out for the rest of the 2025 season,&#8221; the team shared in a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/chicagosky\/status\/1937606880370553244\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:post on X;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">post on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Sky ended the post with some words of encouragement for Vandersloot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We love you, Sloot,&#8221; the team wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Vandersloot came to the Sky as the third-overall pick in the 2011 WNBA draft, leading the team to a title in 2021 before moving to the New York Liberty.
