Diggins Fined: Sky Guard One Step From Higher WNBA Penalties
29 Jun
Summary
- Skylar Diggins received her third technical foul of the season.
- The technical foul resulted in an automatic $500 fine from the WNBA.
- Diggins' team, the Chicago Sky, lost to the Las Vegas Aces.
Chicago Sky guard Skylar Diggins was assessed a $500 fine by the WNBA for her third technical foul of the 2026 season. This occurred during the Sky's recent 107-99 defeat against the Las Vegas Aces. The technical foul happened in the second quarter after Diggins argued with officials.
This penalty brings Diggins one step closer to steeper financial penalties and potential suspensions. Subsequent technical fouls will incur larger fines. Diggins struggled offensively in the game, contributing seven points, six rebounds, and five assists while shooting 2 of 11 from the field.
The Sky's loss was overshadowed by strong performances from A'ja Wilson and Jackie Young of the Aces, who snapped Chicago's two-game winning streak. Chicago, currently 6-13, will face the Aces again on Friday, marking the start of a three-game road trip.
Diggins and the Sky aim to build momentum during their upcoming road games against the Phoenix Mercury and Los Angeles Sparks. For Diggins, avoiding further technical fouls will be crucial to manage escalating fines.
