Decent showing in season finale Onyenwere closed with 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes during Thursday's 91-86 loss to New York.

Impact Onyenwere had an inconsistent role for parts of the 2025 campaign, but she closed the season out on a high note by posting a fourth consecutive double-digit scoring total Thursday. The 26-year-old's production declined slightly during her second season in Chicago, as she averaged 5.8 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 16.9 minutes per game over 42 appearances (22 starts). Onyenwere has had a bit of an up-and-down start to her career after being named the 2021 Rookie of the Year, but she'll likely draw ample interest as an unrestricted free agent during the offseason.

Efficient shooting in loss Onyenwere finished with 13 points (4-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 92-61 loss to the Aces.

Scores season-high 18 points Onyenwere finished Friday's 97-77 loss to the Fever with 18 points (6-8 FG, 6-7 FT), one rebound and one assist in 20 minutes.

Impact Onyenwere made the most of her opportunity Friday and delivered her best scoring output of the campaign. She's scored in double digits only five times since the All-Star break, so it's hard to trust her for sustained production, but with three of those games coming in the Sky's past seven, she might be gearing up to end the season on a strong note. Chicago has three games left to play before the end of the regular season.

Scores 11 points Saturday Onyenwere delivered 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and two rebounds across 25 minutes in Saturday's 79-69 loss to the Storm.

Impact Onyenwere bounced back in this game after scoring in single digits in her previous three outings. However, it's hard to trust Onyenwere in most formats, as she hasn't made the most of her starting chances lately. She has scored in double digits in just two of her last six appearances as a starter.

Efficient in win Thursday Onyenwere amassed 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and one steal in 21 minutes during Thursday's 91-85 win over the Liberty.

Impact Onyenwere bounced back after posting a scoreless performance against the Storm on Aug. 19 and notched double-digit points for the third time across her previous eight showings. Despite the solid outing Thursday, fantasy managers shouldn't get overly excited with what Onyenwere can bring to the table. She has been inconsistent in a starting role, though, so it's hard to trust her in most fantasy slates. She's averaging 6.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game in her 13 starts this season.
