The Chicago Sky rookie and 2024 Olympic 3×3 bronze medalist was spotted courtside at a Dallas Mavericks game, visiting the American Airlines Center with her brother Tanner to watch the team navigate their difficult 2025-26 campaign.
Van Lith sat along the baseline and stole the show with a schoolgirl-inspired outfit complete with pigtails, glasses, and a preppy sweater.
A post on X captioned “Lord have mercy..” has already racked up more than 1.7 million views.“That classic school look really works for her,” one fan commented.“She’s top 5,” a second wrote.
“HOW did Jalen Suggs pull that?” a third asked, referencing Van Lith’s past relationship with the Orlando Magic guard.
“Heterosexual players in the WNBA look good. They need to promote them more and make them the face of the league,” a fourth person wrote.
The Chicago Sky drafted Van Lith as the No. 11 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft. As the first Big 12 player chosen, she joined a rebuilding Sky team with high expectations.
But her rookie season didn’t go as planned. Hampered by a nagging injury, Van Lith averaged just 3.5 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in limited playing time.
