Ties team-high with four assists
Machida chipped in five points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, three rebounds and two steals across 32 minutes in Japan's 85-58 loss to Belgium in the Paris Olympics on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
After going 0-and-3 in the group phase, Japan's Olympic campaign officially ended in a blowout loss. Machida tied the team high in assists while also adding two steals, but she was quiet on the offensive side of the ball against Belgium. The 31-year-old averaged 4.3 points, 6.0 assists and 2.0 rebounds across 27.7 minutes per game in three group-stage games.

WNBA Historical Fantasy Stats
2022 Fantasy Outlook
Machida is a wild card in the rotation after putting on a show in the Olympics. Over the six games, Machida averaged 7.2 points, 12.5 assists and 2.3 rebounds, compiling a combined 17 assists in the two games against Team USA. Machida's showing landed her a contract with Washington and could position her as the backup point guard behind Natasha Cloud entering 2022. However, standing just 5-foot-4, Machida may have difficulty scoring around the rim. She also shot just 25.0 percent from deep during the Olympics, so she may primarily contribute as a distributor.
