The Chicago Sky’s top draft pick might not play in the WNBA this season — but the front office isn’t worried about the timeline of the 19-year-old Slovenian they selected No. 10 in Monday’s draft. General manager Jeff Pagliocca couldn’t be higher on Ajša Sivka. He didn’t expect her to be available toward the end of the first round of the draft — after all, it’s not exactly common to find a 6-foot-4 forward with the fluid perimeter shot and on-ball creativity of a guard.

The Chicago Sky added depth to their roster Monday night by selecting Ajša Sivka and Hailey Van Lith in the first round of the WNBA draft. After taking Sivka, a 6-foot-4 forward from Slovenia, at No. 10, the Sky chose Van Lith, a 5-9 point guard from TCU, with the No. 11 pick they acquired Sunday from the Minnesota Lynx.

The Chicago Bulls could start the play-in tournament without three of their point guards. Lonzo Ball is not expected to be available for the play-in tournament. Josh Giddey is also questionable. And Tre Jones still hasn’t been cleared to remove a walking boot. The potential of losing all three point guards for two knockout games places the Bulls at a steep disadvantage as they attempt to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2022.

The Chicago Sky loaded up on late first-round draft stock in a Sunday night trade with the Minnesota Lynx. The Sky announced they acquired the No. 11 pick in the 2025 draft in exchange for the rights to their 2026 first-round pick. This trade nullified the pick swap that Minnesota initially gained in last year’s trade for the No. 7 draft pick, which the Sky ultimately used to select Angel Reese. The Sky now own the Nos. 10, 11, 16 and 22 picks in Monday night’s draft.

The Chicago Bulls ended the 2024-25 regular season Sunday in relative anonymity. Standings were set in the Eastern Conference by the end of Friday, leaving little to play for in Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Bulls played all their available starters for the first half to prepare for Wednesday’s play-in tournament game against the Miami Heat, allowing the secondary rotation to handle the second half for a 122-102 win.
