Sources: Stevens returning to Sky on 3-year deal

Azura Stevens has agreed to a three-year deal to return to the Chicago Sky, sources told ESPN on Saturday.

The 6-foot-6 versatile forward, who played for the Sky from 2020-22 and won a championship with them in 2021, spent the past two seasons with the Los Angeles Sparks. She averaged a career-high 12.8 points (including 38.1% shooting from the 3-point arc), 8.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 2025, finishing second in Most Improved Player voting.

The Sky are revamping their roster this offseason after missing the playoffs for the second consecutive season. They traded Angel Reese earlier this week to the Atlanta Dream for two first-round picks, re-signed center Elizabeth Williams for two years and now bring back Stevens on a long-term deal. They also have the No. 5 overall pick in the 2026 draft, which is Monday.

Players are officially allowed to sign with teams beginning Saturday.

Stevens was drafted No. 6 overall in 2018 by the Dallas Wings out of UConn and was named to the All-Rookie Team that season. She was traded to Chicago in 2020. She has also won a championship at Unrivaled with Rose B.C. in 2025.
