2024 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Puts up 17 points in loss
GLos Angeles Sparks
May 31, 2024
Nurse closed with 17 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Thursday's 83-73 loss to the Sky.
ANALYSIS
Nurse had a two-game stretch between May 24 and May 26 to forget, going 2-for-15 from the field in losses against Dallas and Indiana, but she has bounced back admirably. She's responded with back-to-back performances with 15-plus points, and Nurse should remain one of the Sparks' primary offensive options.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
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.
