Logs 11 minutes Paopao ended Thursday's 104-90 loss to New York with three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two assists and one steal in 11 minutes.

Impact Paopao has played a very limited role to open the season for Atlanta. Across 12 outings, Paopao has averaged 14.8 minutes with 4.7 points, 1.7 assists and 1.6 rebounds.

JUNE 12 • ROTOWIRE

Scoreless in eight minutes Paopao produced zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound across eight minutes during Tuesday's 91-75 victory over the Sun.

Impact Paopao's fantasy appeal continues to leave a lot to be desired to open the season. Across eight games, she's averaging 5.9 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 16.3 minutes per contest.

Not starting versus Dallas Paopao won't start in Friday's game against the Wings, Grant Afseth reports.

Impact Paopao made her first start of the season in the 85-84 loss to the Aces on Sunday. However, with Rhyne Howard (concussion) back from a one-game absence, Paopao will move back to the bench.

Career-high 19 points in spot start Paopao provided 19 points (5-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 36 minutes in Sunday's 85-84 loss to the Aces.

Impact Stepping into the starting lineup in place of Rhyne Howard (concussion), Paopao struggled from inside the arc Sunday, though she was effective from three-point range en route to a career-high 19 points. The second-year guard knocked down a team- and season-high four triples after shooting 0-for-7 from downtown over the previous two games. She'll likely remain in an expanded role for as long as Howard is sidelined.

Starting sans Howard Paopao will start Sunday's game against the Aces.

Impact With Rhyne Howard (concussion) sidelined, Paopao will enter the starting five for the first time this season. Over two regular-season games in 2026, she has averaged 4.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 17.0 minutes per showing, though she figures to see increased playing time Sunday.

MAY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Scores two points in victory Paopao ended Tuesday's 77-72 win over the Wings with two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 13 minutes.

Impact After playing 21 minutes during Saturday's season-opening win over the Lynx, Paopao's playing time decreased slightly Tuesday. However, she still delivered a somewhat efficient performance as a passer. Paopao has come off the bench in her first two regular-season appearances of the season, averaging 4.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 17.0 minutes per game.

Plays 24 minutes as reserve Paopao generated 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four assists and three rebounds in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 87-78 preseason win over the Sky.

Impact Paopao came off the bench Wednesday, but she saw plenty of playing time and was consistent from the floor while also contributing in other areas. The 23-year-old averaged 5.8 points, 2.4 assists and 1.6 rebounds in 16.7 minutes per game across 43 regular-season appearances (15 starts) during her rookie season in 2025, and she should have the opportunity to compete for even more work in 2026.

APRIL 30 • ROTOWIRE

Plays nine minutes off bench Paopao totaled six points (3-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across nine minutes during Thursday's 87-85 Game 3 loss to the Fever.

Impact Paopao had a bit of an inconsistent role during her rookie season, but she ended the year on a high note, starting in most of her appearances over the final few weeks of the regular season. Her role dropped off during the playoffs, as she was limited to single-digit minutes in two of three outings, but it was still an encouraging campaign for the No. 18 pick in this year's draft. The Dream have plenty of players set to become free agents during the offseason, and Paopao's role in 2026 could depend on who the team acquires over the winter.

Paces Atlanta in Game 2 loss Paopao posted 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound, one steal and one block across 14 minutes in Tuesday's 77-60 Game 2 loss to the Fever.

Impact Paopao made the most of her extended playing time after logging just six minutes in Sunday's Game 1 win. The rookie came off the bench and led the Dream in scoring, finishing as one of two Atlanta players to reach double figures. She was also efficient from beyond the arc after shooting just 21.1 percent from downtown in her previous six appearances dating back to Sept. 1. Paopao and the Dream will look to advance to the second round in Thursday's win-or-go-home Game 3 in Atlanta.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sliding back to bench Sunday Paopao won't start in Sunday's Game 1 against the Fever, Chloe Peterson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sliding to bench Monday Paopao won't start in Monday's game against the Sun.

Impact With Allisha Gray (knee) returning from a two-game absence, Paopao will retreat to the second unit. Over her last five appearances (all starts), the rookie has averaged 6.8 points, 3.6 assists and 2.4 rebounds across 21.6 minutes per game.

Struggles in Thursday's start Paopao racked up eight points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Thursday's 75-73 win over Minnesota.

Impact Paopao moved into the starting five in place of Maya Caldwell, but she had a rough night shooting. The good news is that she hit twice from distance, while doing well in the other counting stats. She is averaging 8.3 points, 4.3 assists, 2.0 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers and 1.0 steals per game across the past three outings.

AUGUST 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Steps into starting five Paopao is starting Thursday's game against the Lynx, Wilton C. Jackson II of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Paopao will draw her first start since Aug. 10, bumping Maya Caldwell to a bench role. Paopao is averaging 6.0 points and 3.3 assists in his last four appearances as a reserve and could see more opportunities Thursday evening.

AUGUST 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Goes for 10 points off bench Paopao finished with 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four assists, two rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes in Sunday's 79-63 win against the Valkyries.

Impact Paopao was seeing an increase in playing time and production with Jordin Canada (hamstring) on the shelf. While Maya Caldwell made the start with Canada out, the rookie Paopao was a little more productive, and she didn't have a turnover.

Not starting Wednesday Paopao isn't part of the first unit for Wednesday's game against the Storm.

Impact With Jordin Canada (hamstring) sidelined, Paopao seemed likely to make her third consecutive start. However, Maya Caldwell will draw the start instead. In 23 games off the bench this season, Paopao averaged 5.0 points, 1.7 assists and 1.1 rebounds across 11.3 minutes.

AUGUST 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in 15 minutes Paopao recorded five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 15 minutes during Sunday's 74-66 win over Phoenix.

Impact Jordin Canada suffered a leg injury during this contest and was unable to return, making Paopao a player to monitor closely. Paopao had played at least 33 minutes in three of her previous four contests, so the Dream clearly trust in the sharpshooter.
