Sky guard Courtney Vandersloot warms up for the WNBA Commissioner's Cup championship against the Las Vegas Aces on July 26, 2022, at Wintrust Arena. “The more I talked about it and learned about it, I realized this affects people you know,” Vandersloot said. “She was in the hospital right away and we didn’t get a chance to game plan.
