2026 Fantasy Outlook
After sitting out the 2024 campaign to fulfill overseas obligations, Shepard returned to the WNBA in 2025. While she averaged only 20.9 minutes per game, her fewest since 2021, Shepard was thrust into an expanded role whenever Napheesa Collier was unavailable. As a starter (13 games), Shepard averaged 12.3 points, 10.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.1 steals in 31.8 minutes per game. She was an unrestricted free agent ahead of the 2026 season and elected to sign with the Wings, where she'll be joined by Minnesota teammate Alanna Smith, along with Maddy Siegrist and Li Yueru. The Wings have several talented options, including Paige Bueckers, Arike Ogunbowale and Azzi Fudd in the backcourt, but Shepard should have an opportunity to carve out ample playing time with her new team.

Records triple-double Wednesday
Shepard finished with 18 points (6-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 10 rebounds and 12 assists across 31 minutes in Wednesday's 99-89 win over Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Shepard recorded a triple-double Wednesday night, her second since entering the WNBA in 2019. She also had a career-best 12 assists. The 29-year-old finished her final season with the Lynx in 2025 by averaging 8.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.1 blocks over 20.9 minutes in 40 games. While it's still early, an All-Star selection could be on the horizon for Shepard if she continues to play this well, assuming she stays healthy, something that has been an issue throughout her career.

2022
Shepard sat out the 2024 season while fulfilling obligations with her team in Italy, but she re-signed with the Lynx in mid-April and should be back in the WNBA in 2025. She's had a consistent role over her last two seasons with Minnesota, averaging 8.1 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 26.5 minutes per game while starting in 39 of 57 regular-season appearances during that time. Bridget Carleton took on a starting role in Shepard's absence last year, while the Lynx also acquired Alanna Smith ahead of the 2024 campaign, and she served exclusively as a starter during her first season with the team. It's unclear whether Shepard will have a starting role now that she's back in the WNBA, but she could have increased opportunities after Dorka Juhasz announced that she'd sit out the 2025 season due to personal reasons. If Carleton and Smith retain starting roles, Shepard could be forced to come off the bench and compete with Karlie Samuelson and Diamond Miller for playing time.
