2025 Fantasy Outlook
After operating mainly as a starter earlier in her career, Nurse was limited to part-time starting duties with the Storm and Sparks over the last two seasons. Her production took a hit, as she averaged just 6.8 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 20.0 minutes per game. Nurse signed a one-year contract with the Sky during the offseason, and she'll likely have to compete for a starting role this spring. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see Nurse come off the bench since Chicago also brought back Courtney Vandersloot while acquiring Rebecca Allen during the offseason. Nurse has some scoring talent, especially from the perimeter, but it seems unlikely that she'll see enough playing time to be a reliable fantasy option in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
Hits double digits in start
GChicago Sky
August 2, 2025
Nurse contributed 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds and seven assists across 32 minutes during Friday's 73-66 loss to Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Nurse was making the start with Angel Reese (leg), Ariel Atkins (leg), Hailey Van Lith (ankle) and Moriah Jefferson (leg) all on the shelf. Nurse did a decent job shooting from distance, while dishing out a team-best seven assists with just one turnover. Nurse is averaging 10.2 points and 5.2 rebounds per game across the past five appearances.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Nurse started the first 20 games of last year, averaging 6.7 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 22.9 minutes. She moved to the bench after that, averaging 5.0 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 16.5 minutes. Regardless of role, she remains one of the more prolific sources of three-point production per-minute. Per 40, she averaged 2.5 made triples while shooting 35.0 percent from deep. She also excelled at keeping turnovers to a bare minimum, racking up just 0.7 per game. Ultimately, Nurse is a three-point specialist for fantasy, so rostering her in formats that cater to the three-ball is especially advantageous. She's proven capable of handling a starting role during her career, and it wouldn't be surprising to see her compete for a spot in the starting five with the Sparks. However, Los Angeles also acquired the No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft as part of the trade that brought Nurse to Los Angeles, so the team now possesses two of the top four picks in this year's draft. Nurse's results have declined over her past three WNBA seasons, but she'll attempt to bounce back in 2024, even though the Sparks are poised to add multiple impactful rookies as part of their rebuild.
Nurse missed all of last season with the Mercury following a torn ACL, and she moved on to the Storm during the offseason. When we last saw Nurse - 2021, her age 25 season - she averaged 9.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 26.1 minutes. She struggled with efficiency, slashing 36/35/79, though she took most of her shots from three (5.2 3PA). Her presence should help cover some of the lost production of Sue Bird, who retired after 19 seasons. Still, fantasy managers shouldn't expect high usage out of Nurse, who has mostly made an impact as a three-point shooter rather than a pure scorer, passer or defender
Nurse saw a slight downturn in her scoring last season upon her transition from New York to a deeper and more talented team in Phoenix. Still, Nurse maintained solid production, shooting 35.9 percent from the field while matching a career-best 35.3 percent from beyond the arc. Unfortunately, Nurse also suffered a torn ACL during the playoffs and is scheduled to miss much, if not all, of the 2022 season.
