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.

Good to go Saturday James (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Fever, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact James sustained a sprained ankle toward the tail end of the preseason, but she has been given the green light to play in Saturday's regular-season opener. She's looking to build off a solid 2025 campaign, when she averaged 7.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists over 17.7 minutes across 38 regular-season games (eight starts).

Probable for Saturday James (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Fever.

Leads Dallas off bench James recorded 18 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 17 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 101-84 preseason win over Las...

Impact James was electric in a reserve role, leading all Dallas scorers despite playing limited minutes. The second-year wing was drafted fifth overall in 2025 and provides Dallas with a scoring punch off the bench. However, with the Wings' backcourt crowded by Paige Bueckers, Azzi Fudd and eventually Arike Ogunbowale (ankle), James projects as a secondary option with sporadic production during the regular season.

Well-rounded production in win James posted 17 points (5-13 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, four steals and three assists in 31 minutes during Thursday's 95-80 preseason win over Indiana.

Impact James came off the bench Thursday, but she led the Wings in playing time and was a strong contributor in multiple areas. Despite not connecting on any of her shots from beyond the arc, she was perfect from the charity stripe and was one of three players to score in double figures for Dallas. She was also productive on the boards and in the assists column while leading the team in steals. James had an encouraging rookie season in 2025, averaging 7.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 17.7 minutes per game, but she may not see as many opportunities for a consistent role in 2026 since the Wings brought back Arike Ogunbowale (not injury related) while drafting Azzi Fudd with the No. 1 overall pick and signing Odyssey Sims.

Nears double-double off bench James ended with 20 points (9-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals across 31 minutes during Thursday's 97-76 win over Phoenix.

Impact Although James came off the bench for a third consecutive game Thursday, she topped 30 minutes of playing time for just the seventh time this season, and she came within one rebound of posting her first double-double in 2025. The 22-year-old was selected by the Wings with the 12th overall pick in this year's draft, and she showcased some promise despite being overshadowed by fellow rookie Paige Bueckers for most of the season. James made 38 appearances (eight starts) and averaged 7.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 17.7 minutes per game. While Bueckers will be back with the team in 2026, Arike Ogunbowale is slated to become an unrestricted free agent, and James could have an opportunity to compete for a larger role during her second professional season if Ogunbowale signs elsewhere.
