Recently-fired WNBA head coach will coach Angel Reese, Kamilla Cardoso in Chicago
Wright will help bolster an organization that is largely centered around Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso, the Sky’s first-round draft picks in 2024.
Before coaching, Wright played in the WNBA for 14 seasons, 10 of which were with the Seattle Storm. She was an elite defender — and was named to the WNBA All-Defensive First Team five times and the All-Defensive Second Team twice.
“Tanisha has built an outstanding resume as a player and coach in the WNBA with more than a decade of experience,” Marsh said, per the team’s official press release. “With a long history of accomplishment and player development, she will help us to build a winning culture at the Sky.”
Previously, the team announced former WNBA player Courtney Paris would be one of Marsh’s assistant coaches. Paris most recently worked as an assistant coach for the Dallas Wings, under Latricia Trammell.
Notably, Marsh’s first two assistant coach hires are both former WNBA standouts with coaching experience.

Kamilla Cardoso shines with career-high performance for Chicago Sky
The rookie sensation has emerged as a key player post-Olympic break, showcasing her dominance on the court.
Chicago Sky rookie Kamilla Cardoso has quickly become a standout performer since the Olympic break, catching the attention of fans and teammates alike. Her impressive form culminated in a career-high 22-point game during Sunday’s narrow 79-74 loss to the Minnesota Lynx, solidifying her role as a key contributor for the team.
Cardoso’s Breakout Performance
Kamilla Cardoso’s fellow rookie, Angel Reese, had a feeling that Sunday would be a special game for her teammate. Before the matchup, Reese confidently predicted that Cardoso would dominate, and she was right. Cardoso took control inside the paint, scoring a career-best 22 points, grabbing nine rebounds, and dishing out one assist, all while shooting an efficient 63.6% from the field. She was perfect from the free-throw line, hitting all eight attempts, and played a crucial role in keeping the Sky competitive with leading scorer Chennedy Carter sidelined
I told her from the beginning of the game, ‘This will be your game,'” Reese said after the game. “I knew this was going to be her game to dominate inside because they had nobody to guard her. I love Kamilla’s confidence, being able to go up strong and finish around the basket, then going up to the free-throw line and knocking it down. I’m really proud of Kamilla. Her confidence since the break has been great.
Since the Sky returned to action on August 15, Cardoso has been one of the team’s top performers, averaging 12.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.5 blocks per game. Her post-Olympic break surge has been a significant factor in the Sky’s recent success, as she continues to grow into a more confident and dominant force on the court.
As the season progresses, Kamilla Cardoso is proving to be a vital piece of the Chicago Sky’s puzzle, with her breakout performance signaling that she is ready to make a lasting impact in the WNBA.
