Impact Onyenwere returned from a two-game absence Sunday against the Fever after being deemed a game-time decision, and she logged zero points, two assists, a rebound and a steal in 14 minutes.

Scoreless in 14 minutes Onyenwere supplied zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 14 minutes during Sunday's 93-78 loss to Indiana.

Impact The Sky were without Ariel Atkins (leg), Angel Reese (back), Hailey Van Lith (ankle) and Moriah Jefferson (leg), but Onyenwere still wasn't able to make much of an impact. With two scoreless duds in a row, Onyenwere is difficult to trust in fantasy formats.

Cleared to play Sunday Onyenwere (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Fever, Sara Jane Gamelli of BallisLife.com reports.

Impact Onyenwere will return to action after missing the previous two games. She started eight of Chicago's nine contests before her injury, but it's unclear if she'll return to that role right away. However, the Sky will be without Ariel Atkins (leg), Angel Reese (back), Hailey Van Lith (ankle) and Moriah Jefferson (leg), so they may need as many minutes as they can get out of Onyenwere.

Impact After sitting out Tuesday's contest against the Lynx due to a knee injury, Onyenwere will remain sidelined versus Seattle.

Onyenwere stayed on the floor for an extended period and didn't return after exiting to the locker room, though she's set to suit up Wednesday. With Angel Reese (leg) and Ariel Atkins (leg) both ruled out against the Dream, Onyenwere could see an uptick in playing time.
