Kiki Rice - WNBA News, Rumors, & Updates

Logs 23 minutes off bench Rice posted two points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with one rebound and one steal across 23 minutes in Tuesday's 92-81 loss against the Valkyries.

Impact Rice was returned to the bench after starting in place of Marina Mabrey in the most recent game Sunday. The rookie rolled up 16 points in Sunday's start, but she was barely involved in a reserve role Tuesday. Unless a starting role opens back up again, her production could be somewhat spotty in the short term.

Retreating to bench Tuesday Rice is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Golden State.

Impact With Marina Mabrey (neck) back in action, Rice will slide back to the bench after starting Sunday's contest.

Impact Rice got the start with Marina Mabrey (neck) and Brittney Sykes (foot) sitting out Sunday. She had scored a combined 10 points in her previous two games, but she appears to be a solid streamer if the Tempo continue to be shorthanded.

Will play on minutes restriction Rice (ankle) will play on a minutes restriction in Tuesday's game against the Lynx, Chelsea Leite of TSN reports.

Impact Rice will shed her questionable tag and return from a 16-game absence due to a Grade 3 left ankle sprain. Although the rookie guard won't see a full workload, her return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Kia Nurse and Tima Pouye. Through 10 regular-season appearances (seven starts), Rice is averaging 12.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 26.7 minutes per contest.

Iffy for Tuesday Rice (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lynx, Chelsea Leite of TSN reports.

Impact Rice was a full participant in Sunday's practice and it looks like a return is on the table. The rookie holds averages of 12.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 26.7 minutes per contest this season.

Full practice participant Sunday Rice (ankle) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, Ian Finlayson of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Rice has been sidelined since June 3 due to a Grade 3 left ankle sprain but is making progress in recovery, with Sunday marking her first full practice since sustaining the injury. The rookie guard may need some more time to ramp up before returning to game action, though the Tempo's first game after the All-Star break is Tuesday against the Lynx. In 10 appearances (seven starts), Rice averaged 12.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 26.7 minutes per tilt before suffering the injury.

Impact Rice has been sidelined since early June due to a Grade 3 left ankle sprain and has been considered week-to-week across the past month. While she'll be forced to miss some more time, it's at least encouraging that she's been able to take part in some activities at practice. The Tempo will presumably continue to build her up in the near future, and she could be in the mix to return to game action at some point in late July or early August.

Won't play Wednesday Rice (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game versus Connecticut.

Impact Rice is sidelined for a second consecutive contest due to a Grade 2 left ankle sprain. Her next chance to play comes Friday, when the Tempo visit the Mystics. Julie Allemand drew her fourth start of the season in Sunday's win over the Sky in Rice's stead and should continue to be more involved Wednesday.

JUNE 9 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Sunday Rice (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Sky.

Impact The absence doesn't come as much of a surprise, given that she was diagnosed with a Grade 2 left ankle sprain that she sustained during Wednesday's loss against the Liberty. Her next chance to play is this coming Wednesday against the Sun, though a clear recovery timeline has yet to be announced by the Tempo. Julie Allemand and Kia Nurse should both see an uptick in playing time for as long as Rice is out of action.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Diagnosed with ankle sprain Rice suffered a Grade 2 ankle sprain during Wednesday's game against the Liberty, Sara Jane Gamelli of BallisLife.com reports.

Impact Rice is set to be re-evaluated over the course of the next few days. The team is not ready to reveal a timeline for her return at this point, though it would seem unlikely that she'll be healthy enough to give it a go in Toronto's next matchup Sunday against the Sky. If Rice can't go Sunday, look for Julie Allemand to see an uptick in minutes.

Using crutches after loss Wednesday Rice (undisclosed) finished with nine points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes in Wednesday's 97-82 loss to the Liberty.

Impact Rice reached the double-digit scoring mark in her last eight regular-season games ahead of the meeting with the Liberty. The 22-year-old fell short of that mark Wednesday, though the bigger concern now is her health, considering she suffered an undisclosed injury in this contest. Rice was observed using crutches after the game, Khristina Williams of MSG Network reports. She will presumably undergo testing in the coming days, with the team likely providing an update on her condition at that time. If Rice misses time moving ahead, Maria Conde and Julie Allemand are candidates to take her place in the starting lineup.
