Quiet off bench Onyenwere registered three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over six minutes during Sunday's 92-85 win over the Sparks.

Back to bench Onyenwere won't start Sunday's game against the Sparks.

Impact With Kamilla Cardoso unavailable due to international commitments, Onyenwere made her first start of the season against Golden State on Friday, posting four points, three rebounds, two assists and three steals in 23 minutes. However, Elizabeth Williams gets the nod Sunday, sending Onyenwere to her usual reserve role. In 14 appearances off the bench, Onyenwere has averaged 12.2 minutes per game.

Draws start Friday Onyenwere is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Valkyries.

Sees just seven minutes Onyenwere notched four points (2-4 FG), one rebound, two assists and one steal across seven minutes during Tuesday's 97-86 victory over the Sparks.

Impact With Kamilla Cardoso stepping away from the team to compete in the upcoming FIBA Women's AmeriCup, there will be a lot of minutes up for grabs in Chicago. Onyenwere has been very quiet this season, however, so she's not quite on the radar in most formats for the time being.

Erupts with season-best outing Onyenwere registered 17 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Saturday's 107-86 loss to the Mercury.

Impact Onyenwere erupted for a season-high 17 points and four three-pointers off the bench. With that said, 10 of her minutes came in the fourth quarter of the blowout defeat, so it's possible her surge in playing time was a byproduct of the rout. Onyenwere is still averaging just 4.6 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 12.8 minutes per game over 12 appearances, although her role will be worth monitoring going forward to see if Saturday's performance will lead to an uptick in playing time.
