Limited production with Las Vegas Stokes finished the 2025 WNBA season with 1.1 points and 3.5 rebounds over 12.9 minutes in 40 games with Las Vegas.

Impact Stokes appeared in all but four regular season games with Las Vegas in 2025, but made a limited impact mostly off the bench while starting in 18 contests. Stokes mostly contributed on the glass, though she didn't manage to produce much offensively. The three-time WNBA champion enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, and it will be interesting to see if the Aces re-sign the 32-year-old or if they let her test the free agent market.

Impact Stokes has been stuck behind A'ja Wilson this season, so it's not a surprise that she hasn't been able to impact fantasy leagues much. For the season, Stokes holds averages of 1.2 points and 3.7 rebounds in 13.2 minutes per game.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to six minutes Stokes racked up two rebounds in six minutes during Wednesday's 83-77 victory over New York.

Impact Megan Gustafson was a DNP-CD, while Stokes saw just six minutes off the bench. As long as A'ja Wilson is upright, there is no path to fantasy value for Stokes or Gustafson.

AUGUST 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Plays two minutes Stokes logged no counting stats over two minutes during Wednesday's 78-72 win over the Valkyries.

Impact Stokes and Megan Gustafson combined to see three minutes with the Aces relying on smaller lineups. As long as A'ja Wilson is healthy, there isn't much upside for Stokes.

AUGUST 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sees three minutes in win Stokes ended with one rebound in three minutes during Tuesday's 89-74 win over Los Angeles.

Impact As the third-string center in Las Vegas, Stokes is facing an uphill battle for minutes. Over her last three games, she's seen a total of 17 minutes off the bench.

JULY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available for Tuesday Stokes (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Sparks, Callie Fin of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact Stokes will return to game action after missing Sunday's win over Dallas due to an illness. The veteran center has logged single-digit minutes in five consecutive outings, averaging 2.0 rebounds and 0.8 steals across 6.4 minutes per game during that span.

JULY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

JULY 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Plays five minutes Thursday Stokes produced three rebounds and one block across five minutes during Thursday's 80-70 loss to the Fever.

Impact As the third-string center in Las Vegas, Stokes has been irrelevant in fantasy formats recently. Over her last four outings, she's seen nine or fewer minutes in each contest.

JULY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Plays nine minutes in win Stokes ended Tuesday's 87-72 victory over the Dream with four rebounds and two blocks across nine minutes.

Impact With Megan Gustafson getting the bulk of the backup center minutes behind A'ja Wilson, there simply isn't enough room for Stokes. She won't generate much fantasy value moving forward.

Sliding back to bench Saturday Stokes won't start in Saturday's game against the Valkyries, Callie Fin of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact The 32-year-old center will retreat to the bench with A'ja Wilson (wrist) returning to game action. Over her last five outings, Stokes has averaged 0.8 points and 3.6 rebounds in 13.4 minutes per game.

Scoreless in return as starter Stokes had zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal over 16 minutes during Thursday's 70-68 loss to Washington.

Impact Stokes was plugged into the starting lineup with A'ja Wilson (wrist) out. The veteran isn't much of a contributor for scoring, and she didn't do all that much in the rebounding department, either. Wilson has large shoes to fill, and Stokes just isn't going to come close to the superstar's production.

JULY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to starting lineup Stokes is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Mystics, Sara Jane Gamelli of BallisLife.com reports.

Impact Stokes is back in the starting lineup after coming off the bench in the past two games, filling in for A'ja Wilson (wrist), who is out indefinitely. The veteran doesn't contribute much as a scorer but brings value on the glass, averaging 2.1 points and 5.8 rebounds on 36.4 percent shooting across 19 games, including 17 starts, this season.

JULY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sees 12 minutes in loss Stokes amassed three rebounds and one block across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 87-78 loss to the Liberty.
