Seven-time All-Star guard Skylar Diggins signed as a free agent with the Chicago Sky, the team announced Saturday.

Terms weren’t divulged, ​but reports pointed to a two-year deal.

Diggins, ‌35, has career averages of 16.4 points, 5.3 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 335 games over 11 seasons.

“Skylar is a player we have coveted for ‌years. ​We are ecstatic to bring ⁠her to Chicago,” Sky ⁠general manager Jeff Pagliocca said in a news release. “She is one of the all-time elite passers in our game and continues to play ​at a high level on both sides of the ball.”

Diggins ranks eighth in WNBA ⁠history with 1,768 career assists ⁠and 25th with 5,489 points. She ​spent the past two seasons with the Seattle ​Storm. Last year, she averaged 15.5 points and ‌6.0 assists in 43 games.

“Diggins is the kind of player who elevates everyone around her,” Chicago coach Tyler Marsh said. “Skylar is a true ⁠veteran leader, and she possesses unmatched speed and shot creation potential. I can’t wait to work with her.”

The ⁠Sky also ‌signed forward Azura Stevens to a ⁠reported three-year deal and acquired guard ​Jacy ‌Sheldon from the Washington Mystics for ​a first-round ⁠draft pick in 2028 on Saturday.

Earlier in the week, Chicago dealt rebounding force Angel Reese to the Atlanta Dream for two first-round picks (2027, 2028) and the option to swap second-round picks in 2028.
