CHICAGO Chicago Sky veteran center Elizabeth Williams is the recipient of the 2023 Kim Perrot Gamesmanship Award, the league announced today. The Kim Perrot Sportsmanship Award is offered to a player that exhibits the ideals of sportsmanship on the court, including moral behavior, fair play and stability. The award is named for the late Kim Perrot, that assisted direct the Houston Comets to their first two WNBA championships before diing in August 1999 after a seven-month fight with cancer cells. Williams is the 2nd Sky player in franchise business background to get the honor, signing up with Swin Money that obtained it in 2013 Sky Basketball Jersey. She got 15 out of 60 total ballots from a nationwide panel of sportswriters and broadcasters, followed by Ariel Atkins with 8 votes and Alysha Clark with 7 ballots. In her initial year with the Sky, Williams balanced 9. 8 points, 5. 8 rebounds and 2. 5 helps in a career-high 29. 7 minutes. On July 12, she tape-recorded her 17th routine season game with five or more blocks, connecting Sylvia Fowles for fifth-most all time. Shortly after on July 20, she reached 1,500 career rebounds, coming to be the 9th gamer in WNBA background with 2,000+ factors, 1,500+ rebounds, 400+ obstructs, 300+ helps and 200+ takes, arriving in 259 games, the fourth-fastest player to do so all-time in WNBA background. Williams was also lately called to the 2023 WNBA All-Defensive Secondly Group and was formerly a 2016 Kia WNBA Most Improved Gamer and named to the 2020 WNBA All-Defensive First String.
