  "textContent": "<p>The <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/chicago-sky\" target=\"_blank\" >Sky</a> waived Saylor Poffenbarger, the team announced Tuesday. They signed her to a hardship contract on May 27 when rookie Gabriela Jaquez was out with a hyperextended knee and the team had only nine active players on the roster. </p><p>Jaquez has recovered and is playing again, but the Sky aren't fully healthy yet. Courtney Vandersloot is still working to <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/chicago-sky/2026/06/16/this-sky-season-is-an-exercise-in-waiting\" >rebuild the muscle deficit in her left knee</a> after she tore her ACL last season, but she is practicing again and could be available soon. DiJonai Carrington is still in the individual-workout phase of rehabbing ankle surgery and does not have a specific return timeline. And Rickea Jackson is out for the season with a torn ACL.</p><p>Poffenbarger appeared in five games with the team, but never played more than eight minutes. She went undrafted in 2026 before signing a training camp contract with the Lynx. She played college ball at UConn, Arkansas, and Maryland.</p>",
