Headed to bench Kone will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Valkyries.

JULY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Starting versus Washington Kone will start in Thursday's game against the Mystics.

Impact Kone has averaged only 4.8 minutes in 18 regular-season appearances in 2026. However, with the 23-year-old set to make her first career start Thursday, she should see considerably more action, though the same can't be said for Madina Okot, who will head back to the bench after starting in Saturday's 105-90 loss to Seattle.

JULY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Scores four in loss Kone finished with four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 12 minutes during Wednesday's 77-66 loss to the Valkyries.

Impact Kone had totaled just 14 minutes of playing time over her last six appearances, but she saw a sharp increase in minutes during Wednesday's matchup. She was a decent contributor in the scoring and rebounding columns, but she hasn't yet established herself as a reliable fantasy option to begin the 2026 campaign.

Productive in comfortable victory Kone amassed nine points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 12 minutes during Saturday's 109-77 victory over Washington.

Impact Kone played single-digit minutes in her first nine appearances of the season, but she saw an uptick in playing time during Saturday's blowout win and responded with her best performance of the season. While Kone showcased her potential during Saturday's matchup, she hasn't had enough opportunities to be a reliable fantasy option early in 2026.

Limited to one minute Kone closed Thursday's 83-71 loss to the Fever with two points (2-2 FT) and one rebound in one minute.

Impact Kone saw just a single minute in Thursday's loss to the Fever. Across nine appearances this season, she has averaged a mere 3.9 minutes per contest.

JUNE 5 • ROTOWIRE

Plays nine minutes in loss Kone finished with five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and three rebounds over nine minutes during Wednesday's 96-81 loss to the Lynx.

MAY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Scoreless in three minutes Kone racked up zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in three minutes during Sunday's 85-84 loss to Las Vegas.

Impact Kone continues to be used sparingly by the Dream. Through three games, she's seeing just 2.3 minutes per contest. She's miles off the fantasy radar for now.

MAY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting versus Washington Kone won't start in Sunday's preseason game against Washington.

Impact Kone got the start in the 88-78 preseason win over Chicago, finishing with 11 points, six rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes. However, she will come off the bench in this contest, reducing her statistical expectations for the preseason finale.

MAY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in double figures as starter Kone recorded 11 points (3-6 FG, 5-8 FT), six rebounds and an assist in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 87-78 preseason win over the Sky.

Impact Kone handled a starting role during Wednesday's preseason opener, and she led the team in playing time against Chicago. Kone could see increased work early in the regular season if Brionna Jones (knee) misses time, but it seems likely that Naz Hillmon (rest) would be the favorite to take on a starting role if Jones is unavailable.

APRIL 30 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Wednesday Kone will start Wednesday's preseason game against the Sky.

Impact With Naz Hillmon (rest) and Brionna Jones (knee) sidelined, Kone will get the starting nod in Atlanta's preseason opener. She'll be joined in the first unit by Allisha Gray, Jordin Canada, Rhyne Howard and Angel Reese.

APRIL 29 • ROTOWIRE

Not listed on injury report Kone (overseas commitment) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's preseason game against the Sky, Meghan L. Hall of USA Today reports.

Impact Kone was a late arrival to training camp due to an overseas commitment, though she's set to play in Wednesday's preseason opener. The 23-year-old forward appeared in 19 regular-season games between Atlanta and Washington last season, averaging 1.4 points and 1.0 rebounds in 6.7 minutes per tilt.

APRIL 28 • ROTOWIRE

Won't arrive at camp on time Kone isn't with the Dream to begin training camp due to overseas commitments.

Impact Although Kone signed her qualifying offer with Atlanta earlier this month, she's fulfilling her obligations with Spanish club Estepona before joining the Dream. It's not yet clear when she'll report to training camp, but she'll have some time before Atlanta's preseason opener against Chicago on April 29.

APRIL 20 • ROTOWIRE

Signs qualifying offer Kone signed her qualifying offer from the Dream on Thursday.

Impact Kone will join the Dream for training camp, but she won't be a lock for the final roster. She made a total of eight appearances for the Dream in 2025.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Receives qualifying offer The Dream extended a reserved qualifying offer to Kone on Tuesday.

Impact Kone was with the Mystics and Dream in 2025, but she totaled eight regular season appearances. She won't be a lock to make the final roster.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from loss Kone didn't play in Thursday's 87-85 Game 3 loss to the Fever.

Impact Kone spent time with Washington and Atlanta in 2025, but she wasn't part of the rotation during her time with the Dream. After averaging just 1.4 minutes per game over her eight regular-season appearances with Atlanta, she totaled just three minutes of playing time across the team's first two games in the first-round series against Indiana. Kone will be a reserved player during the offseason, but it wouldn't be surprising to see her have the opportunity to seek out other deals.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Inks contract with Atlanta The Dream signed Kone to a rest-of-season contract Friday.

Impact Kone was waived by the Mystics on Aug. 5. She hasn't appeared in a game since July 15 after being temporarily suspended by Washington. She will get a chance at a fresh start in Atlanta. The 23-year-old forward has played in 11 games during the 2025 campaign, averaging 2.1 points and 1.6 rebounds per game, shooting 38.9 percent from the floor and 33.3 percent from deep.

AUGUST 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Being waived by Mystics The Mystics waived Kone on Tuesday, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

Impact After shipping Brittney Sykes to the Storm and acquiring Alysha Clark, Washington has also decided to let Kone go. Kone's contract had been temporarily suspended by the Mystics and hasn't appeared in action since July 15, and she's averaged just 6.7 minutes per game across 11 outings this year.

AUGUST 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Contract suspended The Mystics temporarily suspended Kone's contract on Friday.

Impact Kone has played a minimal role for the Mystics this season, appearing in 11 games for an average of 6.7 minutes. It's not immediately clear just how long Kone will be suspended, however.
