James Wade, head coach and general manager of the Chicago Sky, is leaving those positions to join the Toronto Raptors as an assistant coach.
The Sky announced the move Saturday, emphasizing a "seamless transition" to life without Wade.
"The Chicago Sky's mission has always been to elevate and celebrate our world class athletes and staff, and James' tremendous achievement is another exciting indicator of the WNBA's incredible growth and recognition of our outstanding coaches and players who continue to reach new heights," the team said in a statement. "The Chicago Sky are committed to a seamless transition and successful 2023 season, and we will continue to build on our championship culture by making important investments in the Chicago Sky organization this season and for many years to come.
