Te-Hina Paopao - Page 2 - WNBA News, Rumors, & Updates

Starting Wednesday Paopao is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Wings, Grant Afseth of Dallas Hoops Journal reports.

Impact Paopao will make her first start since the fourth game of the season, stepping into the first unit on short notice after Jordin Canada (illness) went from available to out in the matter of hours leading up to tipoff. In her last five games, Paopao is averaging 4.6 points, 1.6 assists and 1.2 rebounds over 10.4 minutes.

Notches two points Paopao amassed two points (1-1 FG) over four minutes during Tuesday's 77-75 loss to Golden State.

Impact Paopao remains buried on the depth chart in Atlanta, playing a combined 19 minutes over her last three games. To her credit, she's hitting 47.3 percent from beyond the arc on the season.

JULY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 12 minutes in loss Paopao recorded five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and one assist across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 87-72 loss to the Aces.

Impact Paopao played double-digit minutes for the second game in a row, but Shatori Walker-Kimbrough was more effective in 23 minutes off the bench. Even with Rhyne Howard (knee) out for the remainder of July, Paopao seems unlikely to generate much momentum.

Shines off bench in road rout Paopao finished Wednesday's 86-49 victory over the Sky with 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 21 minutes.

Impact The rookie was very good from the floor, particularly from distance, while also getting it done in a multitude of other ways. She had managed just 26 total minutes in her first four games in July, averaging just 1.3 points, and the only reason she saw extended minutes Wednesday was likely due to a lopsided result on the scoreboard.

Limited to seven minutes Paopao logged three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound across seven minutes during Sunday's 79-72 loss to the Liberty.

Impact Paopao, who has hit 46.7 percent from beyond the arc this season, continues to see scraps off the bench for the Dream. Over her last five appearances, she's seen an average of 7.0 minutes per night.

JULY 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sees just six minutes Paopao accumulated two points (1-2 FG) and one rebound in six minutes during Thursday's 80-79 loss to Seattle.

Impact Rhyne Howard (upper body) sat this game out, but the Dream didn't rely on Paopao to soak up her minutes. Instead, Shatori Walker-Kimbrough started and finished scoreless in 17 minutes, while Maya Caldwell made a strong impact off the bench in 19 minutes.

JULY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sees just nine minutes Paopao racked up two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), one rebound and two assists in nine minutes during Sunday's 90-81 victory over New York.

Impact Rhyne Howard left this game due to a left upper body injury, meaning Paopao could potentially be asked to step into a larger role should she miss time. Paopao hasn't been utilized much this season, but she's shooting a blistering 47.6 percent from beyond the arc.

Scoreless in 14 minutes Paopao logged zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 14 minutes during Tuesday's 68-55 loss to the Wings.

Impact Paopao had been red hot coming into Tuesday's game, but finally cooled off against the Wings. Through 14 games this season, Paopao is shooting a blistering 52.6 percent from beyond the arc. Her workloads have limited her overall fantasy appeal, however.

JUNE 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Continues to play well off bench Paopao posted 16 points (5-7 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT) with three assists, two rebounds and a blocked shot across 21 minutes in Sunday's 93-80 win over the Sky.

Impact Paopao has scored exactly 16 points in three of her past four appearances, averaging 13.8 points, 2.8 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 3.5 three-pointers per game across the past four appearances. The rookie has been highly accurate shooting, too, hitting at least 71.4 percent of her shot attempts in each of the past four games.

Remains red hot off bench Paopao supplied 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and two steals across 15 minutes during Tuesday's 86-81 loss to the Liberty.

Impact The rookie tied her career high in points, which she set last time out in Sunday's win over the Mystics. Paopao is getting a chance at a larger role, and she is taking advantage of the opportunity, thanks in large part to pinpoint shooting from behind the arc. Paopao has hit eight of her 11 three-pointer attempts in the past two games.

Rookie erupts for 16 points Paopao racked up 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), one rebound and five assists across 17 minutes during Sunday's 89-56 victory over the Mystics.

Impact Paopao, the 22-year-old rookie out of South Carolina, logged her most minutes since playing 30 minutes in a game on May 22 in a loss to the Fever, and that was when she had her previous best with 11 points. Her five assists on Sunday against the Mystics also marked a new career best, as did her four successful three-pointers.

Limited results once again Paopao recorded five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across nine minutes during Friday's 94-87 victory over the Storm.

Impact Paopao came off the bench for a second consecutive game Friday and was unable to make much of an impact in the stat sheet despite Atlanta's high-scoring performance. The rookie averaged 7.0 points, 2.7 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 24.3 minutes per game over her first three appearances, but her upside has been minimal over her last two outings as Shatori Walker-Kimbrough has seen a slight uptick in playing time.

Won't start in return Tuesday Paopao won't start in Tuesday's game against the Sparks, Dream beat writer Jameelah Johnson reports.

Impact Paopao is set to return from a one-game absence due to a facial injury, though she'll join the second unit against Los Angeles. The rookie had started in her previous four regular-season appearances, averaging 5.3 points, 2.3 assists and 2.0 rebounds while shooting 36.8 percent from the field across 19.5 minutes per game.

MAY 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Off report for Tuesday Paopao (face) isn't listed on Atlanta's injury report for Tuesday's game against the Sparks.

Impact Paopao is set to return to game action after missing Sunday's win over the Sun due to a facial injury. The rookie had made three regular-season appearances before sustaining the injury in Saturday's win over the Wings. During that three-game span, Paopao averaged 7.0 points, 2.7 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers across 24.3 minutes per contest.

MAY 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Paopao (face) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Sun, Dream beat writer Jameelah Johnson reports.

Impact Paopao sustained the facial injury during Saturday's win over the Wings and didn't return. Her next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Sparks. Shatori Walker-Kimbrough and Maya Caldwell are candidates for a bump in minutes due to Paopao being sidelined.

MAY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Saturday Paopao (face) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game against the Wings.

Impact Paopao went to the locker room in the first quarter after being hit in the face. Shatori Walker-Kimbrough, Nia Coffey and Maya Caldwell figure to absorb the rookie's minutes for the remainder of Saturday's game. The Dream faces a quick turnaround with a matchup against the Sun on Sunday, and Paopao's status remains uncertain.

Impact Paopao appeared to be poked in the eye during the first quarter. She initially went to the bench but ultimately walked to the locker room with medical staff. The rookie has started all four games this season for the Dream.
