Yueru, a 6-7 center from China, was traded from Los Angeles to Seattle in February and now joins the Wings. Dallas is sending a 2026 second-round pick, which includes the right to swap with the Connecticut Sun, and a 2027 third-round pick, which includes the right to swap with the Indiana Fever.

Two weeks ago, iHeart Women’s Sports reported that Li’s representatives told the Storm she wanted to be traded. The team made good on that request by moving Li to Dallas; the Storm received a second-round pick in the 2026 WNBA draft and a third-round selection in 2027 in return.

The Dallas Wings have acquired third-year center Li Yueru from the Seattle Storm in exchange for a 2026 second-round pick (includes rights to swap with the Connecticut Sun) and a 2027 third-round pick (includes rights to swap with Indiana Fever ), the teams announced Saturday.
