The Chicago Sky waived 2025 first-round draft pick Hailey Van Lith on Monday.
The 24-year-old point guard averaged 3.5 points and 1.6 assists in 29 games (no starts) as a rookie in 2025.
WNBA teams have until Thursday at 5 p.m. ET to make their final roster cuts before the regular season begins Friday.
Van Lith averaged 12.5 points and 4.5 assists in two preseason games for Chicago, which opens the regular season on Saturday at Portland. It will be the first-ever game for the expansion Portland Fire.
The Sky drafted Van Lith with the 11th overall pick in 2025 after her decorated collegiate career at Louisville, LSU and TCU.
The 5-foot-9 Van Lith was an All-American and the Big 12 Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year after averaging 17.9 points, 5.4 assists and 4.6 rebounds with the Horned Frogs in 2024-25.
