Responds well off bench Nurse produced 12 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT) with one rebound across 21 minutes in Sunday's 89-76 loss against the Wings.

Impact Nurse was back to the bench with Marina Mabrey (neck) healthy and able to return to the starting lineup. Nurse was easily the most productive player off of the Toronto bench, and she was able to extend her streak with at least two three-pointers to three consecutive games. She has exactly 12 points in each of those three games, too.

Not starting Sunday Nurse is not listed in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Wings.

Impact With Marina Mabrey (neck) sidelined for the 89-80 loss to the Mercury on June 27, Nurse made her first start of the 2026 campaign, finishing with 12 points, one rebound and one assist over 22 minutes. However, with Mabrey cleared to return following a one-game absence, Nurse will move back to her usual role as a reserve.

Starts Saturday Nurse is starting Saturday versus the Mercury, Zulfi Sheikh of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Marina Mabrey was slated to start Saturday but suffered an injury during warmups, prompting Nurse to take her place in the starting lineup. It will mark Nurse's first start of the season for the Tempo.

Scores 12 as reserve Nurse ended Thursday's 125-97 victory over the Sparks with 12 points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and one steal across 15 minutes.

Impact Nurse has seen inconsistent usage for most of the 2026 campaign, but she's now played double-digit minutes in three of her last four appearances. She's scored in double figures in two of those outings, averaging 6.5 points and 1.3 rebounds in 12.5 minutes per game during that time.

Scores 10 points in relief Nurse contributed 10 points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and one rebound over 15 minutes during Tuesday's 113-91 loss to Indiana.

Impact Nurse was very efficient from the field, while she didn't miss from the free-throw line. She saw her most minutes since playing 27 minutes in a blowout loss in Minnesota on May 21. The increase in playing time was due to her efficiency, as well as the fact Brittney Sykes left the game early due to a non-contact injury, while Julie Allemand (head) also exited early. If Sykes and/or Allemand are forced to miss time, both Nurse and Tima Pouye could see a larger role.

Tallies 23 points off bench Nurse collected 23 points (6-13 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Thursday's 100-72 loss to the Lynx.

Impact Nurse benefitted from more playing time as a result of a lopsided score, but she sure knew how to take advantage. She caught fire from beyond the arc, where she tacked on 18 of her 23 points on the evening. Nurse also recorded her second steal of the year. This appears to be an outlier performance by the 30-year-old, who was averaging 3.2 points while shooting 25.0 percent from deep in 10.2 minutes over five games entering Thursday.

Logs seven minutes Nurse amassed zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist over seven minutes during Wednesday's 86-73 victory over the Storm.

Impact Just like Opening Night, Nurse played a muted role off the Tempo bench. Through two games, she's averaging 1.0 points, 1.0 assists and 0.5 rebounds in 8.5 minutes per contest. She has some work to do in order to get onto the fantasy radar.

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.

APRIL 29 • ROTOWIRE

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.

APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE

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.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.
