The Sky signed veteran point guard Natasha Cloud, the team announced Monday. The Athletic reported the deal is for one year and worth $550,000.
“Natasha is one of the best passers and defenders in our league,” general manager Jeff Pagliocca said in a statement. “She fits in with the other proven winners on our roster.”
Cloud averaged 10.1 points, 5.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game for the Liberty last season. In 10 seasons, she has earned three All-Defensive team selections and won a championship with the Mystics in 2019.
But weeks into training camp, she remained unsigned, one of the curiosities of the condensed free agency period. Cloud has not spoken publicly about why.
Liberty general manager Jonathan Kolb vouched for her at his preseason press conference, calling her a “phenomenal teammate” and an “awesome human being.”
Cloud wrote on Threads that same day: “I have yet to speak. That’s intentional & my power. I’ve just worked. No sulking, no whining. Work. & I will continue to work as I always have. Proving myself right year, after year, after year. (11) to be exact. I know who I am. I know my value/worth. & ain’t nothing traditional.”
Cloud will upgrade the Sky’s defense and help shoulder point guard responsibilities while veteran Courtney Vandersloot continues to rehab an ACL injury.
