Notches 10 points in loss Leite totaled 10 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and seven assists in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 96-78 loss to the Wings.
Impact This was a quiet showing based on her recent standards. Leite is in the midst of a terrific campaign with averages of 15.6 points, 6.3 assists and 2.1 rebounds.
AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE
Strong effort despite loss Leite finished with 27 points (8-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-9 FT), two rebounds, 11 assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Sunday's 105-100 loss to the Mystics.
Impact Leite put up her 11th game of the campaign with at least 20 points. Her production has been a bit all over the place, but she's capable of putting up some gaudy fantasy lines when she's in rhythm.

Goes cold in loss Leite provided seven points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and six assists over 32 minutes during Friday's 82-79 loss to the Tempo.
Impact After scoring 23 points in Sunday's 88-85 victory over Phoenix, Leite cooled off Friday to finish with just her fourth single-digit scoring performance of the 2026 campaign. While the 22-year-old also had trouble shooting the ball, she committed only one turnover after combining for nine in her last two appearances. Despite the struggles in the loss to Toronto, Leite is still having a quality year, averaging 15.5 points, 2.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists, all career highs, across 25.7 minutes in 33 regular-season games.

Available to play Friday Leite (knee) is listed as available for Friday's game against Seattle.
Impact Leite wasn't available for Wednesday's 85-81 loss to Minnesota due to knee soreness, allowing Jordan Harrison to enter the starting lineup. With Leite back in the equation, Harrison is expected to return to the bench.
AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable for Friday Leite (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Storm, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
Impact Leite sat out of Wednesday's matchup against Minnesota due to a left knee injury, but she'll have an opportunity to return Friday after being upgraded to questionable. The team will presumably monitor her closely leading up to tipoff before making a final determination on her status for Friday's clash.
AUGUST 13 • ROTOWIRE
Unavailable against Minnesota Leite (knee) is listed as out for Wednesday's game versus the Lynx.
Impact Leite will miss just her third contest of the 2026 campaign. The Fire don't play again until Friday against Seattle, so there should be an update on her condition before then. Without Leite on the floor, Jordan Harrison will enter the starting lineup for the first time in her career.
AUGUST 13 • ROTOWIRE
Iffy to face Minnesota Leite (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lynx.
Impact Leite exited Saturday's win over the Storm with a left knee sprain and is now being listed on the injury report with knee soreness. If the second-year floor general isn't cleared to play Wednesday, Jordan Harrison and Holly Winterburn would be candidates for increased playing time.

Won't return Saturday Leite won't return to Saturday's game against the Storm due to a left knee sprain, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
Impact Leite will end her evening with two assists and a turnover across four minutes, and for now, she should be considered questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Lynx. Jordan Harrison started the second half in Leite's place Saturday, so Harrison stands to benefit if Leite needs to miss time.
