Hauls in eight boards in Friday's loss Juskaite recorded 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block over 28 minutes during the Tempo's 93-73 loss to the Aces on Friday.

Impact Juskaite scored all 14 of her points across the second and third quarters -- nine of which came in the third frame -- to finish as Toronto's second-leading scorer behind Isabelle Harrison (15 points). Juskaite was two boards shy of recording her second double-double of the season, and she has recorded at least seven rebounds in six of her last seven outings. She has averaged 11.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 0.9 blocks over 27.0 minutes per game in August.

Nears double-double Wednesday Juskaite closed with 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and three assists over 29 minutes in Wednesday's 90-78 loss to Seattle.

Impact Juskaite narrowly missed a double-double, which would've been her second of the season. The forward has scored in double figures in four straight and 10 of the past 12 tilts. In her first WNBA campaign, Juskaite is averaging 10.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.2 steals in 24.8 minutes over 38 games (30 starts).

AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 11 points Sunday Juskaite amassed 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes during Sunday's 88-78 loss to the Aces.

Impact Juskaite continues to play a significant role for the Tempo. She's averaging 10.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.2 steals in 24.7 minutes per game over 37 appearances (29 starts).

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Ties career high in turnovers Juskaite ended with 15 points (3-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 82-79 victory over the Fire.

Impact Juskaite ended with her second consecutive double-digit scoring performance, though she still wasn't much of a factor offensively, even with the Tempo dealing with injuries. The rookie tied her career high with six turnovers, and she also had another inefficient shooting night and has now shot a combined 4-for-27 from deep in her last eight appearances.

AUGUST 22 • ROTOWIRE

Poor showing in loss Juskaite posted two points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and six rebounds over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 101-95 loss to the Fever.

Impact This was a poor showing by Juskaite, but the Tempo may need to rely on her heavily Wednesday against the Mystics. Brittney Sykes will be rested, and Marina Mabrey (hamstring) is listed as doubtful.

Bounces back Wednesday Juskaite finished with 18 points (8-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and three steals across 32 minutes in Wednesday's 94-88 loss to Dallas.

Impact Juskaite went scoreless in Monday's 107-95 loss to Atlanta. However, the 28-year-old rookie responded well by leading the team in minutes while finishing second in scoring behind Marina Mabrey, who had 23 points. Juskaite has started in Toronto's last 12 games, reaching double figures in scoring in eight of those contests. The Tempo may have an extensive injury report ahead of Tuesday's meeting with Indiana. If that's the case, Juskaite could continue to see an uptick in scoring opportunities.

Paige Bueckers scores 22 points, all in 2nd half, as Wings hand Tempo 10th straight loss, 94-88

Paige Bueckers scored all 22 of her points in the second half, and the Dallas Wings beat Toronto 94-88, handing the expansion Tempo their 10th consecutive loss

AUGUST 13 • Associated Press

Productive run as starter Juskaite produced 12 points (5-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block in 26 minutes during Thursday's 97-83 loss to Portland.

Impact Thursday marked Juskaite's fifth straight game with double-digit points. The rookie forward is showing well since joining the first unit, averaging 13.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.9 steals in 29.8 minutes per game over her last 10 appearances (all starts).

AUGUST 7 • ROTOWIRE

Another double-digit scoring effort Juskaite registered 11 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 92-81 loss to the Valkyries.

Impact Juskaite finished with her fourth consecutive double-digit scoring performance. She also recorded her 12th game of the year with at least two steals. The 28-year-old has played relatively well throughout her rookie campaign, averaging 10.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.3 steals over 24.4 minutes in 30 regular-season appearances. Juskaite will likely have some below-average offensive showings moving ahead, but she continues to show signs of growth. While she's not a lock to remain in the starting lineup, her abilities on defense should keep her involved.

Drops 19 points in blowout loss Juskaite totaled 19 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 30 minutes during Thursday's 104-72 loss to the Lynx.

Impact Juskaite was one of the lone bright spots on the night, as she led her squad in scoring and did so in an efficient manner by hitting 58.3 percent of her attempts from the field. She went through a brief cold spell earlier this month, averaging 7.0 points while hitting at a clip of 36.0 percent from the field during a three-game stretch from July 14 to July 20, but she's managed to get back on track in her previous two matchups.

Drops 18 points in loss Juskaite totaled 18 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 34 minutes in Tuesday's 100-93 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Juskaite was an effective scorer, though Toronto was unable to steal a road win to open the second half of the season. Tuesday snapped a three-game streak of single-digit scoring for the first-year forward, who has started each of the past six contests. Through 27 appearances (19 starts), Juskaite is averaging 9.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.3 steals in 23.9 minutes per tilt.

Shines for 18 points in win Juskaite posted 18 points (7-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals across 31 minutes in Sunday's 93-91 win over the Liberty.

Impact Juskaite made the start Friday against the Wings with Nyara Sabally (knee) unavailable. Sabally was able to play Sunday, but head coach Sandy Brondello kept the 28-year-old rookie in the starting five, with Sabally coming off the bench. It was a good move, as both players shined in their respective roles in the upset win.

Impact With Nyara Sabally (knee) sidelined, Juskaite got the starting nod for the first time since June 19. The 28-year-old forward made the most of the opportunity, scoring a career-best 25 points after averaging 4.3 points in 17.7 minutes per game over her previous three appearances. She also chipped in at least two combined steals-plus-blocks for a third consecutive contest Friday.
