She returned for Saturday's 85-75 loss to Minnesota, finishing with six points, three rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 16 minutes from off the bench. With that in mind, Stevens might continue to operate under a minutes restriction despite the move into the starting lineup.

Still on restrictions Stevens is still on minutes restrictions, WNBA reporter Kareem Copeland reports.

Logs 16 minutes in season debut Stevens (knee) posted six points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 16 minutes in Saturday's 85-75 loss to the Lynx.

Impact Stevens made her season debut after suffering a left knee injury in April, though she operated under a minutes restriction off the bench. The veteran forward struggled with efficiency in her return but was still able to chip in a few boards and two combined steals-plus-blocks. She may operate under a minutes restriction in her first handful of games, and it'll be interesting to see if she joins the first unit when the Sky face the Tempo on Wednesday.

MAY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start in return Stevens (knee) won't start Saturday's game against Minnesota.

Impact Stevens will come off the bench in her return from a left knee injury, which likely means she'll operate under some sort of minutes restriction. Still, the veteran forward's presence could mean fewer minutes for Rachel Banham. Stevens started all 44 regular-season games for the Sparks last season, during which she averaged 12.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks in 28.4 minutes per tilt.

Good to go Saturday Stevens (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Lynx, Kareem Copeland of ESPN reports.

MAY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Stevens appears set to make her season debut after suffering a left knee injury in April, though it wouldn't be surprising to see her operate under a minutes restriction in her first game back. If the 30-year-old forward is cleared to return to game action, there would be fewer minutes available for players like Rachel Banham and Aicha Coulibaly.

MAY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Saturday Stevens (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Lynx.

MAY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Saturday Stevens (knee) could return as soon as Sunday's game against the Lynx, according to Chicago State of Mind Sports.

Impact Stevens continues to recover from a knee injury that she sustained during training camp in April. She's trending in the right direction, but if she's cleared to return Saturday, she may face restrictions early on.

MAY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Wednesday Stevens (knee) is out for Wednesday's game versus Dallas.

Impact Stevens is still waiting to make her season debut after suffering a knee injury during training camp. Aicha Coulibaly and Rachel Banham remain candidates for increased minutes until Stevens is cleared to take the floor for the Sky.

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

MAY 12 • ROTOWIRE

To miss Opening Night Stevens (knee) will miss Saturday's season opener against the Fire, according to WNBA reporter Stephen PridGeon-Garner.

Impact General manager Jeff Pagliocca said on April 30 that Stevens (knee) has resumed full basketball activities, but that she was still weeks away. With that in mind, she's questionable at best for Wednesday's game against Golden State.

MAY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Resumes basketball activities General manager Jeff Pagliocca said Thursday that Stevens (knee) has resumed full basketball activities and is "hopefully a few weeks away" from returning to game action, Jack Malo...

Impact Stevens has missed the start of training camp due to her knee injury, and she was unavailable for both of the Sky's preseason matchups. 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.

APRIL 30 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Wednesday Stevens (knee) is out for Wednesday's preseason game against the Dream, per WNBA reporter Kareem Copeland.

The 30-year-old is coming off a career-best season with the Sparks in 2025, as she averaged 12.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks in 28.4 minutes per game while starting every regular-season matchup. The severity of Stevens' injury isn't yet clear, and her status for Saturday's preseason opener against Phoenix remains to be seen.
