Te-Hina Paopao - WNBA News, Rumors, & Updates

Ruled out for Monday Paopao (leg) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Toronto.

Impact Paopao hasn't played since July 13 due to a right leg injury, and she remains without a timetable for a return. She can be considered week-to-week until the Dream provide an update on her progress.

16 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Considered week-to-week Paopao (leg) will be re-evaluated in "the coming weeks," WNBA reporter Kareem Copeland reports.

Impact Paopao has already missed the last two games with a right leg injury and can be considered week-to-week moving forward. In the meantime, Isobel Borlase will likely see a bump in minutes off the bench.

JULY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Sunday Paopao (leg) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Sky.

Impact Paopao will miss a second consecutive contest due to a right leg injury, and her next opportunity to suit up will come in Dallas on Wednesday, July 29. Isobel Borlase is likely to see increased burn in Paopao's stead.

JULY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Friday Paopao (leg) won't play Friday in Toronto.

Impact Paopao will miss her first game of the season Friday and should be considered questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Sky. Her role has diminished in recent games, as she's logged just 11 total minutes over her past two appearances, so her absence isn't expected to have a significant impact on Atlanta's rotation.

JULY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Friday Paopao (leg) is questionable for Friday's game against the Tempo.

Impact This is a new injury for Paopao, but the questionable tag suggests that she's day-to-day. Through 24 games this season, Paopao is averaging 12.5 minutes per contest.

JULY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Scoreless in 10 minutes Paopao ended with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) across 10 minutes during Thursday's 89-78 win over Seattle.

Impact This was a dud for Paopao who remains off the fantasy radar. She's seen 13.2 minutes per contest this season with 4.0 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists.

JULY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Records four assists off bench Paopao finished with three points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four assists and one steal across 18 minutes during Saturday's 105-90 loss to the Storm.

Impact Paopao didn't have her most efficient performance from the floor during Saturday's matchup, but she matched her season-high mark in assists. She's played double-digit minutes off the bench in seven of her last eight appearances, averaging 4.4 points and 1.9 assists in 12.8 minutes per game during that time.

JUNE 28 • ROTOWIRE

Sees 14 minutes in win Paopao chipped in seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 14 minutes during Thursday's 108-101 victory over the Fever.

Impact Paopao continues to play a very modest role for the Dream. In 14 appearances this season, Paopao has produced 4.9 points, 1.6 assists and 1.4 rebounds in 14.6 minutes per game.

JUNE 19 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JUNE 3 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MAY 22 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Chelsea Gray makes the go-ahead jumper with 3.6 seconds left as the Aces beat the Dream 85-84

Chelsea Gray made a fadeaway jumper in the lane with 3.6 seconds to play, and the Las Vegas Aces beat the Atlanta Dream 85-84 on Sunday

MAY 17 • Associated Press

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.

Impact With Jordin Canada returning to the starting lineup, Paopao will come off the bench in the team's postseason opener. In her last five regular-season games off the bench, the rookie guard averaged 5.8 points and 3.4 assists in 19.0 minutes per game.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting regular-season finale Paopao will start Wednesday's game against the Sun.

Impact Jordin Canada (leg) is available but may not play in the regular-season finale, as Atlanta already has a playoff spot locked up. As a starter this season (14 games), Paopao has averaged 7.1 points, 3.1 assists and 2.5 rebounds in 23.5 minutes.

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.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nears double-double in win Paopao finished 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt), six rebounds, eight assists, two steals and one block across 26 minutes in Friday's 100-78 win over the Wings.

Impact Paopao dished out a team-high total in the assists department, which is also a season high, while also being efficient from beyond the arc at 57.4 percent. She has scored 14 or more points four times during the 2025 campaign.
