Sees 20 minutes in win Yueru chipped in seven points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 99-89 victory over the Sky.

Impact After seeing a combined nine minutes in two previous appearances, Yueru was given an extended look Wednesday. Whether this sticks remains to be seen, but she can be monitored in deeper fantasy formats.

Struggling for playing time Yueru supplied one point (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds across five minutes during Monday's 92-69 win over the Mystics.

Impact With Jessica Shepard dominating the center minutes, Yueru is stuck in a relatively nondescript role. She's appeared in just a pair of Dallas' first four games, totaling nine minutes across two outings, so Yueru should remain hard-pressed for fantasy appeal while Shepard is healthy.

Staying in Dallas Yueru signed a qualifying offer with the Wings on Wednesday.

Impact Yueru was unable to finish the 2025 WNBA season due to an ACL sprain in her left knee, but she's reportedly healthy for 2026 and is likely to remain a valuable depth piece in the Wings' frontcourt. Yueru made 31 appearances (12 starts) between the Storm and Wings in 2025, averaging 5.1 points and 3.7 rebounds in 14.3 minutes per game.

Impact Yueru suffered an ACL sprain in her left knee in mid-August that forced her to miss the final few weeks of the 2025 WNBA season. However, her return to action in Unrivaled suggests that she's moved past the injury this winter. Yueru made 31 appearances (12 starts) between the Storm and Wings in 2025, averaging 5.1 points and 3.7 rebounds in 14.3 minutes per game. She'll be a reserved player during the offseason, so the Wings will have exclusive negotiating rights with her if they extend her a qualifying offer.

Wings center Li Yueru is out for the season after spraining a knee ligament

Dallas Wings center Li Yueru will miss the rest of the season after spraining the ACL in her left knee against the Los Angeles Sparks last week

AUGUST 19, 2025 • Associated Press

Out for season Yueru will miss the rest of the season with an ACL sprain in her left knee, Melissa Triebwasser of Winsidr reports.

Impact Yueru suffered the injury during Friday's game against the Sparks, but she was able to return. But after further evaluation, the Wings have determined that her season is over. Yueru is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026 season. In Yueru's absence, Luisa Geiselsoder may need to step into a larger role in the frontcourt.

Won't go Sunday Yueru (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Aces.

Impact Yueru will sit out Sunday's game with a left knee injury, her first absence since joining the Wings on June 14. The center has averaged 7.4 points and 5.8 rebounds in 20.0 minutes across 22 games (12 starts) with Dallas, though she's recently shifted more regularly into a bench role.

AUGUST 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to play Sunday Yueru is questionable to play Sunday against the Aces due to a left knee injury.

Impact Yueru hasn't missed a game since being absent for two straight games in mid-June. However, the questionable tag suggests the center might be a game-time call for Sunday's 3:30 p.m. ET tipoff. Yueru shouldn't carry a lot of fantasy upside, though. She's averaging only 5.8 points and 4.4 rebounds per game since the All-Star break.
