Likely to play vs. Sparks James (foot) is probable for Friday's game against the Sparks.

Impact The right foot injury is a new issue for James, but it's not expected to hold her out of action Friday. With Arike Ogunbowale (knee) already ruled out versus Los Angeles, James could pick up a few extra minutes off the bench if he's expectedly upgraded to available. That said, the rookie guard has averaged just 3.3 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.4 steals in 9.1 minutes per game over her last seven outings.

AUGUST 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sees five minutes in win James contributed zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one steal across five minutes during Tuesday's 81-80 victory over the Fever.

Impact Even with the Wings missing Arike Ogunbowale (knee), James wasn't very involved Tuesday. She's seen eight or fewer minutes in three straight games, and she has a lot of work to do to get back on the fantasy radar.

Retreating to bench Sunday James won't start in Sunday's game against the Mystics, Joey Mistretta of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact The 22-year-old guard drew the start during Friday's loss to the Liberty with Paige Bueckers sidelined due to a back issue. However, James posted three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound across just seven minutes in the spot start. She isn't likely to play significant minutes against Washington due to Bueckers returning to action.

AUGUST 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sees 10 minutes in loss James ended with four points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 10 minutes during Tuesday's 85-76 loss to the Liberty.

Impact With DiJonai Carrington now in Minnesota and JJ Quinerly trending in the wrong direction, James does have a path to more minutes if she can string some good performances together. She's worth keeping an eye on in deeper formats.

AUGUST 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Finishes with nine points off bench James finished with nine points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one block in 16 minutes during Friday's 88-78 loss to Indiana.

Impact The point total doesn't look like much, but she was actually tied for the second-highest total in Friday's loss. In fact, the rookie scored better than four of the team's five starters. James needed a good game, as she closed out July averaging just 3.4 points per game in the past three appearances.

AUGUST 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Plays seven minutes James chipped in two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and one rebound across seven minutes during Wednesday's 88-85 loss to the Dream.

Impact James' minutes are trending in the wrong direction for Dallas. She's seen 10 or fewer minutes in two straight games, making her an afterthought in most fantasy formats.

JULY 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to 10 minutes James registered three points (1-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound across 10 minutes during Monday's 92-82 victory over the Liberty.

Impact The Wings were close to full strength Monday with Paige Bueckers back from a maintenance day. James saw just 10 minutes and doesn't currently have a clear path to a large role in Dallas.

Has ugly shooting night off bench James ended with five points (2-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and four rebounds across 20 minutes during Sunday's 106-80 loss to Las Vegas.

Impact The rookie misfired eight times, and that was a bit disappointing since she had been 50.0 percent or better from the field in the previous two outings. James has at least three rebounds in nine consecutive games.

Plays 14 minutes off bench James recorded seven points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 14 minutes during Tuesday's 87-63 victory over Seattle.

Impact The workload was disappointing from a fantasy perspective, but James continues to make the most of her minutes for Dallas. In 19.8 minutes per contest this season, she holds averages of 8.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.8 steals.

JULY 21, 2025 • Associated Press

Plays 12 minutes James finished with two points (2-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists over 12 minutes during Wednesday's 90-86 loss to Las Vegas.

Impact With Haley Jones breaking out off the bench Wednesday, minutes just became even harder to come by for James. She had some good moments in the absence of Arike Ogunbowale, but with Dallas getting some reinforcements back, James may struggle to produce fantasy value.

Responds well off bench James contributed 11 points (3-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 22 points in Sunday's 102-83 loss to the Fever.

Impact James returned to the bench, as Arike Ogunbowale (thumb) was healthy enough to return to a starting role. The rookie did a good job with the second unit, and she has scored at least 11 points in eight of the previous nine appearances, while posting at least three assists in four consecutive outings.

JULY 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Retreating to bench Sunday James won't start in Sunday's game against the Fever, Joey Mistretta of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact The rookie will shift to the second unit with Arike Ogunbowale (thumb) returning to game action. Over her last five outings (three starts), James has averaged 16.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.4 steals across 34.0 minutes per game. While Ogunbowale's return will likely mean a dip in James' playing time, she has still logged at least 20 minutes in each of her last five games off the bench.

JULY 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Held in check Wednesday James notched eight points (3-15 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-5 FT), four rebounds, four assists and four steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 87-76 loss to the Sky.

Impact James saw her impressive scoring run come to an end Wednesday, though it wasn't for a lack of trying. The rookie, who had scored in double digits in seven straight contests between June 20 and July 7, struggled from the floor in this one as the Wings suffered a second straight road loss. Despite the subpar showing, don't be surprised if James remains in the starting lineup when the Wings take on the Fever on Sunday.

JULY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Extends impressive scoring run James produced 15 points (7-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Monday's 102-72 loss to Phoenix.

Impact James couldn't replicate the career-high 28-point output she delivered in the win over Phoenix on July 3, but she extended her streak of games with double-digit points to seven. She's averaging a robust 15.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game over that span. James could remain in the starting lineup when the Wings take on the Sky on Wednesday since the team is quite depleted right now. Arike Ogunbowale (thumb), DiJonai Carrington (ribs) and Maddy Siegrist (knee) are dealing with injuries, while Tyasha Harris (knee) is out for the rest of the season.

Registers career-high 28 points James produced 28 points (10-20 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and six assists across 38 minutes during Thursday's 98-89 win over the Mercury.

Impact The rookie moved into the starting lineup for the first time in her career, as the Wings waived Kaila Charles. The move paid instant dividends. James is averaging 16.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists with 1.7 three-pointers per game across the previous six outings, going for least 11 points in each of the games during the span.
