Career performance in loss Leite finished with 32 points (12-26 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and three steals across 48 minutes in Sunday's 124-123 quadruple-overtime loss to the Mystics.

Impact Leite took advantage of the extended contest by scoring a career-high 32 points, though it wasn't enough to help the Fire avoid a third consecutive loss. The 22-year-old has certainly benefited from the move to Portland after spending the 2025 campaign with the Valkyries, averaging a career-best 15.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.1 blocks over 25.7 minutes in 18 regular-season games. She has also shot 41.0 percent from deep, a significant uptick from last season.

Impact Although the Fire struggled to keep up with the Sky for most of Friday's matchup, Leite was a bright spot with the team's second-highest scoring total. She's been a reliable option to begin Portland's inaugural season, and she's now scored in double figures in seven consecutive appearances.

Good to go Wednesday Leite (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Sky.

Impact Leite will shed her questionable tag due to a right ankle sprain and suit up Wednesday. The second-year guard is coming off a 20-point, 10-assist double-double and has scored in double figures in five straight games, averaging 13.6 points, 6.6 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 25.6 minutes per tilt during that time.

The 22-year-old guard has scored in double figures in five consecutive contests, averaging 13.6 points, 6.6 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 25.6 minutes per game during that span. If she's unable to play Wednesday, Sarah Ashlee Barker, Teja Oblak and Holly Winterburn would be candidates for increased burn, especially if Karlie Samuelson (foot) is downgraded from questionable to out as well.

Scores in double figures Leite totaled 10 points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal in 19 minutes during Monday's 107-74 loss to the Lynx.

Impact Leite was the only starter to score in double figures in what turned out to be a blowout loss for Portland. She wasn't on the court for much of the second half given the lopsided score, which limited her production across the board. Leite has now scored 10 or more points in four consecutive games.
