Comes off bench in rookie season Nye finished the 2025 WNBA season with 3.8 points and 1.5 rebounds over 15.3 minutes in all 44 regular season games with Las Vegas.

Impact Nye quickly found herself a role off the Las Vegas bench in her rookie season, with the second-round draft pick contributing offensively and on the boards while even filling in to start a pair of games with the Aces. Nye is the only Aces player currently under contract while still on her rookie deal, so she will remain part of Las Vegas as it tries to repeat as champions in 2026.

Back to bench for Game 1 Nye will come off the bench during Sunday's Game 1 against the Storm.

Impact Nye started the last two games of the regular season due to Kierstan Bell (leg) being out of the lineup, but she will shift back to a bench role with Bell returning to the lineup Sunday. In her previous five games off the bench, Nye averaged just 1.2 points and 0.6 rebounds in 7.0 minutes per contest.

Starting sans Bell Nye will start in Tuesday's game against the Sky, Callie Fin of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact The rookie will get the starting nod for the first time this season with Kierstan Bell (leg) sidelined. Over her last five appearances, Nye has averaged 1.2 points across 7.0 minutes per game.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores six against Minnesota Nye accumulated six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and one steal over 16 minutes during Thursday's 97-87 victory over Minnesota.

Impact Nye has had minimal fantasy production off the bench in recent weeks, but she recorded her highest minutes total since Aug. 3 during Thursday's victory. She drained a pair of three-pointers to prop up her scoring total, but she shouldn't be considered a reliable fantasy option over the final week of the regular season.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 11 minutes off bench Nye accumulated three points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), one rebound and one block across 11 minutes during Wednesday's 83-77 win over the Liberty.

Impact Nye has been limited to 11 or fewer minutes in three straight contests. On the season, she holds averages of 4.5 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 16.8 minutes per game, so her upside is lacking.

AUGUST 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Goes scoreless in 15 minutes Nye closed with zero points (0-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 78-72 victory over the Valkyries.

Impact Nye logged the second-most minutes of any player off the Aces bench, but she just couldn't get her three-pointer to fall. The rookie saw her modest streak of five games with at least one three-pointer come to a close.

AUGUST 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in 10 minutes Nye totaled three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and two rebounds in 10 minutes during Tuesday's 89-74 victory over the Sparks.

Impact Nye has had some serious trouble finding the bottom of the net recently. Over her last five games, she's shooting a combined 5-of-20 from the field. She's not a viable fantasy asset at the moment.

Scoreless in 16 minutes Nye amassed zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 16 minutes during Thursday's 80-70 loss to the Fever.

Impact Apart from a 13-point outing against Dallas on July 16, Nye has been very quiet off the bench for the Aces. In fact, she's been held to five points or less in seven out of eight appearances in July so far.

Plays 14 minutes in win Nye recorded two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 14 minutes during Tuesday's 87-72 win over the Dream.

Impact Nye was coming off a 13-point performance against Dallas, but she's mostly been pretty quiet off the Las Vegas bench. Out of her last seven games, she has been held to single-digit points, including a scoreless outing.

JULY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Plays well off bench Nye recorded 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 90-86 victory over the Wings.

Impact Jackie Young tweaked her hip in this contest, making this a situation to monitor heading into the All-Star break. Should Young miss time, Nye just proved that she's capable of stepping up, snapping a streak of five straight games with single-digit points.
