Cools off Friday Shepard totaled six points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes during Friday's 94-76 loss to the Valkyries.

Impact Shepard nearly had a triple-double in Wednesday's 96-92 loss to the Mystics. However, outside of her contributions on the glass, she was nowhere near as productive Friday and finished with her second single-digit scoring performance in the last five games. Still, Shepard, who was named an All-Star for the first time in 2026, is averaging a career-high 14.7 points, 11.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists over 33.1 minutes in 32 regular-season games.

She's also ranks second in the WNBA in double-doubles (20), one behind Angel Reese (21). Shepard has played better than expected throughout the 2026 campaign and is now averaging 14.9 points, 11.7 rebounds and 5.5 assists, all career-highs, over 33.3 minutes in 31 regular-season games.
