Locked on Women’s Basketball: The Chicago Sky face some difficult roster decisions

With such a loaded roster, Kay makes a case for WNBA expansion:

“It is so necessary to expand these rosters with how banged up a lot of these players come in after being overseas. And if, would you rather see Courtney Vandersloot at 100 percent or at 80 percent? Like, again, I just think about it in that perspective. Like were you just able to give these players a little bit of breathing room to rest up playing one of the most difficult sports and honestly one of the sports that is just so taxing on your body? We need, we need expansion.”
