2025 Fantasy Outlook
Rivers didn't immediately have a prominent role in college, but she served exclusively as a starter at NC State over her final two seasons and displayed some improvement, especially as a playmaker. Over the last two years, she averaged 12.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.9 steals in 34.6 minutes per game, but she shot just 26.6 percent from beyond the arc, which could limit her professional potential as an option on the wing. Rivers joins a new-look roster that lost DiJonai Carrington and several frontcourt players during the offseason. Marina Mabrey also requested a trade in February, but the Sun seem unlikely to honor that request. Rivers should have an opportunity to compete with newly acquired Lindsay Allen and Jacy Sheldon for a role as a rookie. Even if Rivers doesn't carve out abundant playing time right away, the new-look team may test out different rotations throughout the season, which could make the NC State product an intriguing streaming option.

May 3, 2025
Rivers (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's preseason game against the Storm.
ANALYSIS
Rivers, the No. 8 pick of the 2025 WNBA Draft, will miss Sunday's preseason bout while attending to a personal matter, and her absence will likely lead to more playing time for Jacy Sheldon, Leila Lacan and Madison Hayes. Rivers finished her final season at NC State averaging 11.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.3 blocks over 34.1 minutes per game. Rivers' next chance to see the floor is Friday against the Liberty.
