Active hands in return James chipped in nine points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and three steals over 13 minutes during Sunday's 97-71 victory over the Sun.

Impact James made her return Sunday from a five-game absence with a left leg injury, also making a big impact defensively off the bench. She's logged at least nine points in three of her last four games, and James will be looking to carry that momentum into the other side of the WNBA's FIBA World Cup break.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Not listed on injury report James (leg) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Sun.

Impact James had been dealing with a left leg injury, but her absence from the injury report suggests she could be in the mix to return Sunday. The second-year guard is averaging 6.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game in 34 appearances (two starts) this season.

Without timetable for return James (leg) is not with the team and is without a timetable for a return to game action, Christan Braswell of Off The Record WBB reports.

Impact James, who has already been ruled out for Friday's game in Indiana, sustained a left leg injury in Wednesday's win over Toronto and can presumably be ruled out for the remainder of Dallas' road trip. With the second-year guard sidelined, Odyssey Sims, Sug Sutton and Maddy Siegrist are candidates for increased playing time.

AUGUST 14 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Friday James (leg) is out for Friday's game against the Fever.

Impact James left Wednesday's game against Toronto with a left leg injury and is sitting out for the first time this year Friday. Alysha Clark and Maddy Siegrist could pick up a few extra minutes off the bench in James' absence.

AUGUST 13 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Wednesday James (leg) won't return to Wednesday's game against Toronto. She will finish with two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 12 minutes.

Impact James had trouble getting anything going Wednesday. However, her night got even worse after she suffered a left leg injury in the fourth quarter. The Wings play again Friday against the Fever, so it wouldn't be surprising to see James appear on the injury report. In the meantime, Alysha Clark and Maddy Siegrist will likely handle more minutes the rest of the way.

AUGUST 9 • Associated Press

Not starting Sunday James won't start Sunday's game against the Lynx.

Impact With Azzi Fudd (knee) sidelined Friday, James drew the spot start and dropped 13 points, albeit on inefficient shooting. Fudd will remain on the inactive list Sunday, though Odyssey Sims will get the starting nod over James. The second-year guard has averaged just 2.2 points and 1.2 rebounds in 6.0 minutes per contest over her last five appearances off the bench, though she'll likely continue to play meaningful minutes Sunday.

AUGUST 9 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 13 points in spot start James supplied 13 points (3-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 7-11 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 27 minutes during Friday's 94-76 loss to Golden State.

Impact Azzi Fudd (knee) was ruled out late after experiencing soreness during pregame warmups, resulting in James making her second start of the year. The 21-year-old made the most of her opportunity by hitting the double-digit scoring mark for the first time since the 112-110 victory over Seattle on June 22. James struggled shooting the ball, but overall, it was a better-than-average showing from the 2025 No. 12 overall pick, who may remain in the starting lineup moving ahead if Fudd misses more time.

AUGUST 8 • Associated Press

Starting sans Fudd James will start Friday's game against the Valkyries.

Impact With Azzi Fudd (knee) unavailable, James will draw her first start since June 13. The second-year guard posted 17 points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals across 34 minutes in her last start this season.

AUGUST 8 • ROTOWIRE

Playing minimal role James posted zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound over three minutes during Wednesday's 82-81 loss to the Dream.

Impact James appears to be getting phased out of Dallas' rotation, leaving her fairly safe to ignore on waiver wires in fantasy leagues. James has averaged 2.1 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 6.4 minutes per game over her last seven outings.

Low workload in win James racked up five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt) across nine minutes during Tuesday's 88-77 victory over New York.

Impact James remains a fringe rotation player for the Wings. Through 22 appearances, she's averaging 6.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 12.9 minutes per contest.

JULY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Notches 18 points in win James accumulated 18 points (7-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals in 24 minutes during Monday's 112-110 win over Seattle.

Impact James had played a combined 12 minutes in her previous two outings, but she made a big statement off the bench Monday. She's worth monitoring in fantasy hoops in case the coaching staff rewards her with another long look.

Scores 17 points in start Saturday James finished with 17 points (6-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's 84-83 loss to the Fire.

Impact With Paige Bueckers (ankle) unavailable, James started for the first time this season. Though the 2025 No. 12 overall pick wasn't efficient shooting the ball, going 6-for-18 from the field and 1-for-7 from deep, she still finished one point short of her season-high. Bueckers is considered day-to-day moving ahead, but if she isn't available Monday against the Aces, James might remain in the starting lineup.

Starting versus Fire James will start in Saturday's game against Portland, Grant Afseth reports.

Impact With Paige Bueckers (ankle) sidelined, James will make her first start of the 2026 campaign. The 21-year-old has averaged 6.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.3 blocks across 12.2 minutes in 12 regular-season appearances.
