The league said: "The WNBA strongly condemns racism, hate, and discrimination in all forms — they have no place in our league or in society."
Angel Reese had 12 points and 17 rebounds for the Sky, who lost three of four last season to Indiana.
During their Media Day on Monday, the Sky explained they are ready to put their rebuild to the test.
Vandersloot spent the first 12 seasons of her decorated career in Chicago. She has now returned after winning her second WNBA title with the New York Liberty.
Two training camp practices in his rebuild job with the Sky, the new head coach said laying the foundation of a competitive environment doesn't require a complete teardown.
With new Head Coach Tyler Marsh standing by, she and fellow Sky draft picks Maddy Westbeld and Aicha Coulibaly were formally introduced.
At No. 16, the Sky drafted Notre Dame forward Maddy Westbeld, and at No. 22, Texas A&M guard Aicha Coulibaly.
In exchange for Atkins, Washington will get the Sky's 2025 third overall pick, 2027 second-round pick, and rights to swap 2027 first-round picks.
Vandersloot is coming off her second WNBA title with the New York Liberty.
The Dallas Wings will have the No. 1 pick. They will have the chance to draft UConn star Paige Bueckers.
