Posts double-double in finale Banham racked up 13 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Thursday's 91-86 loss to New York.
Impact Banham maintained elevated playing time for the shorthanded Sky during Thursday's regular-season finale, and she excelled as a passer en route to her first double-double of the year. Although Banham dealt with some inconsistency during the 2025 campaign, she still had a career-best season while making 44 appearances (33 starts), as she averaged 9.0 points, 2.7 assists, 1.7 rebounds, 2.0 made three-pointers and 0.6 steals in 24.6 minutes per game. The 32-year-old will become an unrestricted free agent during the offseason, and it wouldn't be surprising to see teams express renewed interest in her talents now that she's proven the impact she can have in a starting capacity.

Breanna Stewart scores 24 points and Liberty beat Sky 91-86 to finish season
Breanna Stewart scored 24 points, Rebekah Gardner had 15 and Emma Messemann added 14 as the New York Liberty beat the Chicago Sky 91-86SEPTEMBER 12 • Associated Press
Awful shooting performance Banham logged four points (0-7 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 92-61 loss to Las Vegas.
Impact Banham missed each of her seven shots from the floor -- all of them from deep -- and had a subpar stat line overall. Her lack of consistency has been alarming, as she's alternated double-digit scoring performances with games in which she's scored five or fewer points over her previous six appearances. That said, it's hard to trust her ahead of the regular-season finale against the Liberty on Thursday since she's reached the 10-point plateau just three times over her last 10 outings.

Impact Banham scored single-digit points for the third consecutive game, during which she has shot 29.4 percent from the field. Over her last five appearances, she's averaged 8.2 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists across 24.4 minutes per game.

Plays 17 minutes in loss Banham finished Tuesday's 94-88 loss to the Storm with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 17 minutes.
Impact Banham had been playing really well prior to Tuesday, but she saw a dip in usage and minutes due to the return of Angel Reese. With how well she was playing prior, it's not the worst idea to give her another chance.

Impact Banham was one of the few bright spots for her squad in a 41-point blowout, leading her team in the scoring department. She has now scored 15 or more points in seven games during the 2025 campaign.

Drops in three triples in loss Banham logged 10 points (3-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 71-62 loss to the Sun.
Impact Banham wasn't particularly sharp from the field, but she still had a respectable amount of three-pointers, while chipping in favorably in the other counting stats.

Leads Chicago in scoring Banham posted 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt) and three assists in Saturday's 92-70 loss to the Fever.
Impact The fact that Banham led Chicago in scoring with 11 points tells the whole story of how much the team struggled on offense. Banham has been a bright spot for Chicago of late and has scored in double digits in six of the team's last eight games, establishing herself as a reliable scoring weapon in a struggling offense.
