Notable Storylines
Bueckers On Historic Streak... Paige Bueckers has scored in double figures in all 25 games she has played this season, marking the fifth-longest streak by a rookie in WNBA history. She moved into a tie for that No. 5 spot with Indiana's Caitlin Clark on Sunday when she posted a team-high 17 points against the Washington Mystics.
A Change Can Do You Good... The Dallas Wings added Li Yueru and Haley Jones during the 2025 season and both are having career-highlighting years. In 20 games in Dallas, Yueru is averaging career highs of 7.0 points and 6.1 rebounds - her previous season bests were 5.1 points and 3.7 rebounds from 2024. Yueru has had two of the highest rebounding performances of her career, including 15 boards against the Atlanta Dream on June 24. Over 14 games with the Wings, Jones is averaging a career-best 8.4 points while shooting .461 from the field to go along with
3.1 rebounds. Her previous highs were 3.9 points (2024), .397 shooting (2024) and 2.4 rebounds (2023). Jones has scored in double figures in seven of the last 10 games, including the first four-game double-digit scoring streak of her career.
Delayed Rookie Success... The Dallas Wings drafted Luisa Geiselsöder No. 21 overall in the 2020 WNBA Draft. Geiselsöder remained in Europe until this past February when the Wings signed her. In 2025, Geiselsöder has the highest scoring average by rookies selected in the second round at 7.5 points per game. Te-Hina Paopao is the next highest rookie second-round scorer at 5.5 points per game.
