BRADENTON, Fla. – The Chicago Sky has signed forward Alexis Prince for the remainder of the season, the team announced Sunday. Additionally, guard Alisia Jenkins was released from the team at the end of her seven-day contract.
Prince has already begun the league’s quarantine protocol at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, and will be eligible to join the Sky for practices and games as early as this week, after its completion.
Drafted by the Phoenix Mercury in the second round of the 2017 WNBA Draft, the 6-2 Baylor graduate appeared in 18 games with Phoenix in 2017 and two games with the Atlanta Dream in 2018 before playing professionally in France, Spain, and Turkey. In the 2019-20 WNBA offseason, Prince averaged 22.6 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game for the Turkish league’s Hatay BSB (KSBL). Prince’s performance earned her to be named Eurobasket.com’s All-Turkish KBSL Forward of the Year, as well as First Team and All-Imports Team honors.
The Sky originally signed Prince to a training camp contract in February 2020, prior to the postponement of the start of the WNBA season.
