Additionally, Chinese center Han Xu and French guard Marine Johannés will remain overseas for the 2020 season and join the team in 2021.

In light of game scheduling changes in her home country due to COVID-19, Han is unable to report for the 2020 WNBA season. Similarly, Johannés will not report for personal reasons. The team remains in close contact with them and looks forward to welcoming them back for the 2021 season.
