Extremely efficient in bench role Yueru notched seven points (3-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 12 minutes during Wednesday's 88-85 loss to the Dream.

Impact Yueru didn't miss, making all of her field-goal attempts, including her only try from distance. While her production has tailed off somewhat, she is still getting a much better chance than earlier in the season when she was with the Storm. Yueru is averaging 6.2 points and 5.2 rebounds in the past five outings.

Efficient in victory Yueru provided eight points (4-5 FG), seven rebounds, one assist and one block across 17 minutes in Monday's 92-82 win over the Liberty.

Impact Yueru came off the bench for the first time since June 22 but delivered an extremely efficient performance after shooting just 2-for-11 from the field over her previous two outings. The 6-foot-7 center was also productive on the glass, finishing as the team's second-leading rebounder.

Retreating to bench Monday Yueru won't start in Monday's game against the Liberty, Joey Mistretta of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact The Wings will deploy a smaller starting unit Monday, with Haley Jones replacing Yueru in the starting five. The 26-year-old center has logged fewer than 20 minutes in each of her last two games and has averaged 8.4 points and 5.8 rebounds across 20.2 minutes per game in her last five outings

Quiet outing in loss Yueru registered four points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds over 18 minutes during Sunday's 106-80 loss to the Aces.

Impact The Wings rested Paige Bueckers, making this line all the more disappointing from Yueru. She's trending in the wrong direction, having scored a combined eight points in her last two outings. Meanwhile, Teaira McCowan erupted for 12 points and 13 rebounds in 17 minutes off the bench Sunday.

Busy on boards in road win Yueru accumulated eight points (3-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), 10 rebounds and one block over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 87-63 win over the Storm.

Impact Yueru was able to exact a little revenge against her former employer. She was barely in the rotation earlier this season in Seattle, so she requested a deal. Li has rebounded nicely in Dallas, averaging 13.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.3 blocks per game across the past four appearances.

Impact Yeuru was struggling to find a role with the Storm, but she has really been a solid contributor since coming over to the Wings. She has scored at least 12 points in three of her past four games, and she is averaging 12.0 points and 8.3 rebounds in four July appearances. She has been efficient lately, too, hitting 68.1 percent (15-of-22) from the field in the past two outings.

JULY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Yeuru didn't do much from the field, but she used her size to get to the free-throw line frequently. It was her second double-double in the past four games, and she is averaging 8.3 points and 8.8 rebounds in the span. After struggling to find a meaningful role in Seattle, Yeuru has fit right in down in Dallas.

Traded to Dallas The Wings have acquired Yueru in a trade with the Storm, Meghan L. Hall of USA Today reports.

Impact Yueru recently requested a trade, as it seems she was not content with her role in Seattle. The 26-year-old center will now play for her fourth team in three seasons in the WNBA. She had previous stints with the Sky and Aces before being dealt to the Wings by the Storm on Saturday. In nine games with Seattle during the 2025 campaign, Yueru averaged 2.8 points and 1.8 rebounds per game, shooting a career-low 30 percent from the field across 8.7 minutes per contest.

Impact Playing in her first season with the Storm, Yueru has been used very sparingly. She has appeared in nine games, posting averages of 2.9 points and 1.9 rebounds in 9.1 minutes. It will be interesting to see what type of market she has following this request.
