PG Skylar Diggins leaving Storm to sign with Chicago

Skylar Diggins is headed to Chicago while Satou Sabally is coming to New York as WNBA free agents can officially sign Saturday.

Seattle Storm to sign veteran Natisha Hiedeman, per reports

Diggins spent the past two seasons with the Seattle Storm before coming to the Sky — a move announced on social media by Chiacago. The seven-time All-Star gives the team another veteran guard and brings her closer to where she grew up in South Bend, Indiana.

Diggins averaged 15.5 points and 6.0 assists while earning an All-Star nod with the Storm last season. In two seasons with Seattle, the Notre Dame product averaged 15.3 points, 6.2 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.5 steals over 83 games.

Diggins is the second star to leave the Storm in free agency after two seasons with the team. Ten-time All-Star Nneka Ogwumike announced she’s leaving the team to reunite with the Los Angeles Sparks.

Sabally’s move to New York was confirmed by her agent Zack Miller. She joins an already stacked roster as Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu already said they’ll be back in New York. Sabally also looked at coming to the Liberty last season when she was also a free agent before landing with the Phoenix Mercruy. Sabally averaged 16.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists to earn a All-Star spot — her third.

She raised her game in the postseason, averaging 19 points and seven rebounds before suffering a concussion in Game 3 of the series against Las Vegas that caused her to miss the final game of the series.

While Diggins and Sabally are changing teams, Dearica Hamby is staying in Los Angeles. She announced on social media that she was returning to the Los Angeles Sparks. The three-time All-Star will be part of a talented group that includes newly signed Ogwumike, Kelsey Plum and Cameron Brink.
