Hailey Van Lith’s spot on the Chicago Sky and in the WNBA was recently questioned in an odd way by a former star who had a lot of success in the league.

Satou Sabally Had Seven Words for Hailey Van Lith originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky now have a 3-10 record during the 2025 WNBA season after Sunday's 93 to 80 defeat at the hands of the 10-4 Atlanta Dream. Chicago has lost six of its last seven games, as well as three straight.

Former WNBA star Angel McCoughtry has clarified comments made earlier this week concerning Chicago Sky rookie Hailey Van Lith, attributing her rise to stardom with being a social media influencer. Van Lith has 1.3 million followers on Instagram and substantially grew her reach during TCU's NCAA Tournament run prior to the WNBA Draft.
