The Chicago Sky have finalized their regular season roster.

The Chicago Sky waived Hind Ben Abdelkader, Linnae Harper and Victoria Macaulay on Thursday, the deadline to bring WNBA training camp rosters down to 12 players.

Ben Abdelkader spent the offseason playing for Hatay in Turkey, where she averaged 19.2 points, 4.2 assists and 1.3 steals. The guard appeared in 14 games for the Indiana Fever last season before being waived.

Harper made noise last season as one of the rare undrafted free agents to make a roster. She played in 24 games for the Sky and averaged six minutes of playtime per game. The Chicago native played two seasons at Kentucky before transferring to Ohio State where she finished up her collegiate career.

The 6’4 center, Macaulay, played for Galatasaray in Turkey this offseason. Macaulay went undrafted in 2013, and has appeared in four games in her WNBA career, all with the Sky in 2015. She spent all four years of her college career at Temple, where she averaged 14.1 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game her senior season.

The roster cuts mean that Baylor guard and this year’s 15th overall pick, Chloe Jackson, has made the team.

With Jamierra Faulkner still out with injury, Jackson is likely to see significant time at point guard this year. Jackson played in 20 minutes during the Sky’s preseason opener and in 28 minutes during their second preseason game. She had eight points, five assists, four rebounds and three turnovers in that second game.

The Sky start their regular season this Saturday away against the Minnesota Lynx. They will open up play at home on June 1 against the Seattle Storm.
