WASHINGTON, April 8 (Xinhua) -- The Dallas Wings announced Wednesday that Chinese center Li Yueru has accepted a qualifying offer with the WNBA side.
In 2025, Li averaged 6.0 points and 4.5 rebounds playing for the Wings and the Seattle Storm in her third WNBA season. She posted a career-high 20 points in the Wings' 81-80 win over the Indiana Fever on August 12.
However, Li suffered an anterior cruciate ligament sprain in her left knee several days later and was sidelined for the remainder of the season.
Upon her recovery, Li helped Mist BC capture the 3x3 Unrivaled league title.
In March, Li helped China secure a spot at the FIBA Women's World Cup with an average of 8.2 points and 5.0 rebounds across five qualifying games.
The qualifying offer signed between Li and the Wings is on a training camp basis.
The Wings will play their first pre-season game against the Fever on April 30. ■
