Out again Wednesday Stevens (knee) will remain on the inactive list for Wednesday's game against the Valkyries.

Although she seems to be trending in the right direction, Pagliocca's comments suggest that Stevens' status for the team's Opening Night matchup in Portland on May 9 is in question. Even if Stevens is unavailable against the Fire, it wouldn't be surprising to see her return early in the regular season, though Chicago could elect to ease her into action once she's deemed available.

Despite the scoring woes, Stevens has found a way to produce in other areas with averages of 6.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and a combined 1.7 steals-plus-blocks per game over that same stretch.
