Nurse said she took the one-year deal ‘because more money is coming, and we deserve to get paid and we are going to get paid. Period’
Guard Kia Nurse, seen in a May 4, 2024, file photo, recently signed a one-year deal with the Chicago Sky.Currently in Nashville, Tenn., for her first Athletes Unlimited basketball season, Nurse tapped into the experience of the 39 players around her to help assess whether Chicago would be a good fit. This was in addition to the regular team meetings that take place around free agency.
Nurse, 28, from Hamilton, Ont., plans to have a strong season with the Sky and parlay it into a potential payday when she hits free agency next winter – the same time the expansion Toronto Tempo can sign their first free agents.“My whole career has been being able to put Canada on the map in a way we haven’t had before,” she said. “I’m grateful to have been in that position and every time that I step on the floor I’m representing Canada, whether it’s at the Olympics, WNBA or .
During a media call, five other players nodded vociferously when Nurse said she proudly represents Canada among her 39 American peers. “Chicago, I feel like was a really good fit. It was an opportunity for me to go in there and be around a mixture of really young, talented players and some talented vets and to come in and bring my leadership skills, bring my personality and be in a great city,” Nurse said.
“There’s great people. It’s great talent. You got refs. It’s still a five-on-five basketball game. Just the scoring system is different, but it makes every quarter, every possession, every moment in the game count,” Nurse said. “I was with her all summer and it was frustrating for us as a whole, but seeing her just after one scrimmage just having that huge smile on her face that we didn’t really get to show that much over the summer. Little moments like that is what makes me love .”
