Chicago Sky to retire Allie Quigley’s No. 14

CHICAGO (WGN) — The Chicago Sky are set to retire the number of one of the franchise’s all-time greats.

The Sky will retire Allie Quigley’s No. 14 jersey during the pregame portion of their July 9 matchup against the Dallas Wings. Quigley’s jersey will be the first retired by the Sky organization.

“It’s not easy saying goodbye to basketball, but I feel so lucky to have been able to play in the WNBA and live out my dream,” Quigley said. “And to be able to play in Chicago for my hometown team?!? It doesn’t get any better. All I can say is THANK YOU!”

Quigley will be honored with a retirement ceremony during the game, including an on-court tribute with special guests and a video montage celebrating the best moments of her Chicago career.

On gameday, Wintrust Arena will feature a display commemorating Quigley’s career and key milestones. In addition, the organization will feature storytelling highlighting Quigley’s time with the Sky across its platforms in the lead-up to the retirement.

After the July 9 game, Quigley will take part in a post-game press conference.

“Allie Quigley will always be synonymous with Chicago Sky basketball,” Sky CEO and President Adam Fox said. “Allie’s record breaking three-point shooting, relentless pursuit of greatness, and tremendous leadership contributed to the Sky’s 2021 championship and forever shaped the culture of the organization. We are proud to honor her legacy and career by retiring her jersey.”

Quigley, who is from Joliet, Illinois and attended DePaul University, spent 10 seasons with the Sky from 2013-22. She helped bring the Sky their first WNBA championship in 2021, averaging 15.2 points and 36.5% from three during their postseason run nearly four years ago.

A career 39.4% shooter from 3-point land, Quigley earned a reputation as one of the best from beyond the arc during her time with Chicago. She won the WNBA’s Three-Point Contest during All-Star Weekend in 2017, 2018, 2021 and 2022.

In addition to a title win, she earned Sixth Player of the Year honors in back-to-back years from 2014 to 2015 with the Sky and was a three-time All-Star from 2017 to 2019. Quigley finished her Sky career averaging 11.9 points, while shooting 45.4% from the field in 313 games (172 starts).

Quigley is the Sky’s all-time franchise leader in three-pointers made (504). She also exited the Sky franchise as the all-time leader in points (3,723) and field goals (1,386). She was only recently surpassed in those categories by her wife, Courtney Vandersloot, this season.
