2025 Fantasy Outlook
Austin had an encouraging rookie year in 2022 while starting in 32 of 36 appearances, but she's struggled with injuries over the past two seasons, which has diminished her fantasy value. She underwent hip surgery in December of 2023, and although she was available for the start of the 2024 regular season, she struggled with hip and ankle issues throughout the year and usually had her playing time monitored when she was available. Despite her limited minutes, Austin put up strong fantasy production when on the court, averaging 11.8 points and 6.8 rebounds in 19.9 minutes per game over 12 appearances. She played in Unrivaled over the winter and should provide plenty of fantasy value if she's fully healthy for the WNBA season in 2025, especially since Elena Delle Donne seems unlikely to rejoin the team.

Logs career-high 30 points in loss
Austin amassed 30 points (10-15 FG, 10-10 FT), five rebounds, four blocks, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes in Sunday's 84-82 loss to Seattle.
ANALYSIS
Austin stuffed the stat sheet en route to a career-high 30-point performance, marking her fourth outing with at least 20 points this season. The 25-year-old center also tied her season high in blocks, recording her first game with multiple swats over eight appearances this month. Following a three-game absence due to a left leg issue, Austin has appeared in five straight matchups, scoring at least 12 points in four of them. She has also attempted double-digit free throws in back-to-back games.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Austin underwent hip surgery at the beginning of December and was given a 4-to-6 month recovery timetable, putting her status for the start of 2024 in jeopardy. Even if she’s available right away, she may experience some limitations to avoid a potential setback. Despite battling the lingering issue during the 2023 campaign, Austin still averaged 10.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.9 blocks across 19 appearances (17 starts). However, due to the missed time, she finished as the 89th player in fantasy as opposed to her 56th-place finish as a rookie, even though her averages were better in Year 2. Austin’s health is going to be the main factor when evaluating her fantasy value, but as long as she’s available, the third-year center has a chance to take a major leap in 2024.
