News: 3 days agoBanham logged 12 points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), an assist and a steal in 16 minutes during Saturday's 108-104 preseason loss to the Mercury.

Spin: Banham re-signed with the Sky during the offseason following a career-best campaign in 2025, when she averaged 9.0 points, 2.7 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 24.6 minutes per game across 44 regular-season appearances (33 starts). Banham could see relatively consistent minutes off the bench early in the season if Courtney Vandersloot (knee) and DiJonai Carrington (foot) are unavailable.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Banham began the 2024 campaign with Connecticut before being traded to Chicago, where she averaged several career highs during her first full season with the team in 2025. Over 44 regular-season appearances (33 starts) last season, the 32-year-old guard averaged career-best marks in points (9.0), assists (2.7), three-pointers (2.0), steals (0.6), blocks (0.3) and minutes per game (24.6), shooting 38.2 percent from the field and 35.7 percent from three-point range. She's a career 37.0 percent shooter from downtown, which helps her fantasy appeal, though Banham could have trouble generating considerable fantasy upside while competing for minutes behind Skylar Diggins, Courtney Vandersloot, Jacy Sheldon and DiJonai Carrington after agreeing to remain with the Sky for the 2026 season.
