Starting Wednesday Nurse will start Wednesday's preseason game against the Sun, Chelsea Leite of The IX Sports reports.

Impact With Marina Mabrey (back) and Brittney Sykes (hip) out, Nurse will start Toronto's preseason opener. She'll be joined in the first unit by Alexa Held, Kiki Rice, Nyara Sabally and Temi Fagbenle.

Latching on with Tempo Nurse agreed to a contract with Toronto on Monday, Chelsea Leite of The IX Sports reports.

Impact Nurse will receive a fresh opportunity with the Tempo after averaging 7.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 44 appearances a season ago in Chicago. She'll presumably have a chance to establish a key role within the Toronto rotation following Monday's signing and will join Marina Mabrey and Brittney Sykes in a talented backcourt.

Scores in double figures as starter Nurse totaled 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes during Thursday's 91-86 loss to the Liberty.

Impact Nurse reclaimed a starting role during Thursday's regular-season finale in place of Elizabeth Williams. Nurse stepped up with a somewhat efficient performance and posted her 14th double-digit scoring total of the season. The 29-year-old started in just 18 of her 44 appearances this year, but her production remained relatively steady, as she averaged 7.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 21.9 minutes per game. Nurse will have an opportunity to explore other opportunities as an unrestricted free agent during the offseason.

Joining starting lineup Nurse is starting Thursday's game against the Liberty.

Impact Nurse is averaging 8.8 points and 1.8 rebounds in 19.7 minutes across her previous six appearances, and she's earned the start in her squad's last matchup of the regular season. This marks her first start since Aug. 3 against Phoenix. Nurse will take the place of Elizabeth Williams, who has been cleared to play after previously battling a calf injury but will be deployed off the bench Thursday evening.

Sharp from distance off bench Nurse notched 12 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and three rebounds across 15 minutes during Wednesday's 88-64 win over the Sun.

Impact Nurse might have played a little more off the bench, but she picked up three personal fouls to limit her playing time. She is averaging 10.6 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.4 three-pointers per game across the past four outings.

Productive off bench in loss Nurse contributed 17 points (6-8 FG, 5-7 3Pt), one rebound, four assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Thursday's 83-79 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Nurse has been limited to a bench role in the last few weeks, and while that has somewhat limited her fantasy upside, she has been finding ways to remain relevant. This was the third time she scored in double digits off the bench across her last five outings, a span in which she's shooting 48.5 percent from the floor and 50 percent from three-point range.

Erupts for season-high 19 points Nurse finished with 19 points (6-10 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds in 17 minutes during Saturday's 94-84 loss to the Sun.

Impact Nurse established a season high in points Saturday, catching fire from downtown to tie a season best in three-pointers as well. Nurse has slid back to the bench for eight consecutive outings since Ariel Atkins returned, having averaged just 5.9 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 15.6 minutes per game during this time, so Nurse should remain hard-pressed for stable fantasy value while Atkins is healthy despite Saturday's outburst.

Bounces back in loss Nurse notched 13 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists and one steal across 14 minutes in Tuesday's 94-88 loss to the Storm.

Impact Nurse delivered a bounce-back performance after going scoreless and logging a season-low four minutes in Friday's blowout loss to Golden State. She led the Sky's bench in scoring and was one five Chicago players to reach double figures against Seattle. With Ariel Atkins back at full strength, Nurse has come off the bench in six consecutive games, during which she has shot just 28.6 percent from the field.

Struggles shooting from distance Nurse ended Wednesday's 71-62 loss to the Sun with five points (1-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist across 23 minutes.

Impact Nurse misfired on each of her two field-goal attempts from inside the pain, and she had tremendous difficulty from downtown, too. To make matters worse, Nurse had five turnovers, tying a team high. Nurse is a disastrous 13.3 percent (2-15 FG) in the past two games, and she has scored five or fewer points in five straight outings.

AUGUST 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Held to two points Nurse chipped in two points (1-2 FG), three rebounds and two assists in 16 minutes during Thursday's 86-65 loss to the Dream.

Impact With Ariel Atkins back in the mix, Nurse's path to fantasy relevance is pretty narrow. She's been held to 17 or fewer minutes in two straight games, scoring a total of six points with three assists in that span.

AUGUST 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sees 17 minutes in win Nurse produced four points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one rebound and one assist across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 78-64 victory over the Mystics.

Impact With Ariel Atkins back in action Tuesday, Nurse moved to the bench and will struggle to keep her fantasy appeal afloat. It doesn't help that she has shot a combined 2-of-12 from the field over her last two games.

AUGUST 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to bench Nurse is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mystics.

Impact Nurse had started six straight games and 17 of 28 contests overall this season but will move to the bench following a 1-for-8 shooting performance Sunday against the Mercury. Ariel Atkins (leg) returns from a multi-game injury absence, and Elizabeth Williams also rejoins the starting lineup, replacing Nurse.

AUGUST 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles badly from floor Nurse finished with five points (1-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 27 minutes during Sunday's 83-67 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Nurse was in the starting lineup again, but she had a horrible shooting performance. She has now missed more shots than she has made in each of the past five games, shooting just 30.0 percent (15-50 FG) in the span while averaging 8.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 three-pointers per game.
