Overview

  • Dallas announced Tuesday that the center will miss the remainder of the 2025 season after an ACL sprain in her left knee.
  • She was hurt in a 97–96 loss to Los Angeles, briefly returned to that game, then missed the 106–87 defeat at Las Vegas.
  • After a midseason trade from Seattle, she averaged 7.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.0 assist across 22 games for Dallas.
  • For the season, she logged 31 games with 12 starts and averaged 6.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 16.7 minutes.
  • Coverage indicates Dallas will lean on Luisa Geiselsoder, Diamond Miller and Myisha Hines-Allen to absorb frontcourt minutes over the final nine games.
