Following Wade's departure, Emre Vatansever, the general manager of the Sky, stepped in as the interim head coach. Under Vatansever's leadership, the team posted an 11-13 win-loss record, and the Sky was eliminated in the first round of the WNBA playoffs by the defending champions, the Las Vegas Aces.
