Ariel Atkins - Page 6 - WNBA News, Rumors, & Updates

Scores 11 points Saturday Atkins had 11 points (3-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block across 22 minutes in Saturday's 93-58 loss to the Fever.

Impact The Sky looked overmatched from start to finish in this game against the Fever, and Atkins was one of the few players who delivered a decent stat line -- as well as decent fantasy value. Atkins was a regular for the Mystics in 2024 and averaged 14.9 points, 3.4 boards and 3.1 assists per game during the 2024 season. She might need some time to settle in Chicago, but once she does, she should be one of the team's go-to players.

Limited to two points Atkins finished with two points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), a rebound and an assist across 14 minutes in Friday's 89-62 preseason win over Team Brazil.

Impact Atkins figures to be a key piece for the Sky on offense after being acquired via trade from Washington in the offseason. She's a proven scorer and established veteran in the WNBA, so based on that, fantasy managers shouldn't worry too much about the seven-year veteran going scoreless in a preseason game. Atkins appeared in all 40 regular-season matchups for the Mystics in 2024 and averaged 14.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.5 steals in 29.9 minutes per game.
