Chips in 10 points vs. Toronto Wheeler recorded 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 99-95 victory over the Tempo.

Impact Wheeler made her first start of the season Friday due to the absence of Ariel Atkins, the latter of whom is dealing with a head injury. Wheeler took advantage of the opportunity, logging season highs in points, assists and minutes, and her seven dimes were her most in a game since July 9, 2024 against the Sun. Wheeler would likely stay in Los Angeles' starting five for Sunday's rematch against Toronto if Atkins is not cleared to return.

Starting against Tempo Wheeler will start in Friday's game versus Toronto, Justin Russo reports.

Impact Ariel Atkins (concussion) won't suit up for Friday's contest, giving Wheeler a chance to make her first start of the 2026 campaign. Outside of the 2.5 steals per game, the 35-year-old has struggled this season, averaging 2.0 points, 1.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists across 19.5 minutes. However, with the move into the starting lineup, Wheeler will have an opportunity to turn it around.

MAY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Mixed results in season debut Wheeler totaled two points (1-11 FG, 0-6 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and three steals across 18 minutes during Sunday's 105-78 loss to the Aces.

Impact Making her season debut, Wheeler led the Sparks in steals but was nearly blanked while shooting from the field Sunday. She averaged 10.3 points, 3.3 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 25.6 minutes per contest over 44 regular-season games for Seattle in 2025, and it appears initially that Wheeler is primed for a fairly significant reserve role in her second stint with Los Angeles.
