Nia Coffey - WNBA News, Rumors, & Updates

Doesn't play in season-ending loss Coffey didn't play in Thursday's 87-85 Game 3 loss to the Fever.

Impact Coffey played single-digit minutes in the first two games of Atlanta's first-round playoff series, but she didn't see the court Thursday as the team was eliminated by Indiana. After making double-digit starts in each of the previous four seasons, Coffey's role declined slightly in 2025, as she averaged 3.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 10.3 minutes per game while starting in just two of her 44 regular-season appearances. She'll be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and it seems possible that she'll entertain offers from other teams.

Blocks two shots in cameo Coffey totaled one rebound, one assist and two blocks over five minutes during Thursday's 75-73 win over Minnesota.

Sees five minutes in win Coffey notched one rebound across five minutes during Sunday's 74-66 win over the Mercury.

Impact Coffey remains a minimal part of the rotation for the Dream. On the season, she's seen 10.9 minutes per night with averages of 4.1 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists on 36.8 percent shooting from the field.

AUGUST 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Provides spark off bench Coffey finished Sunday's 99-83 win over Washington with 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and one steal in 17 minutes.

Impact Coffey gave the Dream a nice injection of offense off the bench. It was just her fourth game of the season with at least 10 points. In two games in August, Coffey is averaging 19.5 minutes per outing, while averaging 9.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers per game.

AUGUST 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sees just two minutes Coffey accumulated zero points (0-2 FT) over two minutes during Tuesday's 77-75 loss to Golden State.

Impact With a total of 17 minutes over her last four games, Coffey is pretty irrelevant in fantasy formats these days. For the season, she's shooting just 33.7 percent from the field and 27.3 percent from beyond the arc.

JULY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to five minutes Coffey provided zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across five minutes during Tuesday's 87-72 loss to the Aces.

Impact Coffey has now been limited to single-digit minutes in seven of her last eight appearances. Even with Rhyne Howard (knee) out for the remainder of July, Coffey is unlikely to step into a large enough role to warrant attention in fantasy formats.

JULY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sees 15 minutes off bench Coffey notched two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 15 minutes during Wednesday's 86-49 win over Chicago.

Impact The Dream ran away with this game early, allowing Coffey to see a bigger workload than what she's used to. Although Rhyne Howard (knee) is still out, Coffey hasn't been seeing enough minutes to warrant attention in most fantasy formats.

JULY 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Plays seven minutes Coffey finished with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound in seven minutes during Sunday's 79-72 loss to New York.

Impact Coffey has essentially become an emergency depth option for the Dream. For six straight games, she's failed to reach double-digit minutes off the bench. She's not on the fantasy radar for the moment.

JULY 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Paces bench in loss Coffey totaled seven points (3-3 FG, 1-1 FT) and two rebounds over six minutes during Friday's 99-82 loss to Indiana.

Impact Coffey led Atlanta's second unit in scoring, though she still saw limited minutes in the loss. The 30-year-old forward has experienced a significant dip in playing time recently, averaging 1.6 points and 2.0 rebounds across 3.8 minutes per game in her last five appearances.

JULY 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sees just four minutes Coffey finished Thursday's 80-79 loss to the Storm with one rebound in four minutes.

Impact Coffey was considered a candidate to start for Rhyne Howard (upper body) on Thursday, but the Dream went with Shatori Walker-Kimbrough instead. Walker-Kimbrough finished scoreless in 17 minutes, however, so it's not out of the question that Coffey could get a look if Howard ends up missing more time.

JULY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Held to one point Coffey supplied one point (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 68-55 loss to the Wings.

Impact Coffey continues to be used very sparingly by the Dream. Through 15 games, she's seeing 14.1 minutes per night with averages of 5.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists on 33.3 percent shooting from the field.

JUNE 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sees just 10 minutes Coffey finished with three points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 10 minutes during Tuesday's 86-81 loss to the Liberty.

Impact Coffey remains a fringe rotation player for the Dream and isn't currently on the fantasy radar in most formats. Across 12 regular-season appearances, Coffey holds averages of 5.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 15.1 minutes per contest.

JUNE 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Busy from long distance Coffey racked up 10 points (3-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 77-58 win over the Fever.

Impact Coffey was able to hit three of her seven three-pointer attempts, and she was able to log seven rebounds in just 20 minutes off the bench. She has been far more productive at home this season, averaging 10.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.2 three-pointers per game in four home appearances, while going for just 4.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 0.8 three-pointers per game in five road contests.

JUNE 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench role Coffey is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Seattle.

Impact Coffey will return to the bench after a brief two-game stint in the first unit due to the absence of Brittney Griner (knee). Coffey should still see a fair share of minutes, but her upside will be limited considerably now that she'll play with the second unit.

MAY 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Season-best outing in first unit Coffey finished with 18 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes during Sunday's 79-55 win over the Sun.

Impact In her first start of the season Sunday, Coffey effectively established season highs across the board while double-doubling and tying for the team lead in scoring. Coffey briefly left the game with a facial injury but quickly returned, so that doesn't appear to be an issue going forward. If Te-Hina Paopao (face) and Brittney Griner (knee) remain sidelined for Tuesday's tilt against the Sparks, Coffey would be in line to draw another look in the first unit.

Returns Sunday Coffey (face) has returned to Sunday's game against the Sun at the start of the second quarter, per the broadcast.

Impact Coffey exited to the locker room after sustaining a facial injury on a collision with an opposing player in the opening quarter. The 29-year-old forward will likely be good to go for the rest of the game after getting patched up.

Impact Coffey sustained the injury and drew a charge on a collision with an opposing player. If the 29-year-old forward is unable to return, Naz Hillmon and Taylor Thierry are candidates for an uptick in playing time.
