Li Yueru has had her trade request fulfilled by the Seattle Storm as she's been traded to the Dallas Wings for a second round pick in 2026 and a third round pick in 2027. Li had received limited playing time with the Storm following her offseason trade.

"I don't feel I have enough time on the court," Li, a native of China, said last week. "I came here only to play the game. I'm really happy and appreciative because I know many teammates, I've made many new friends and know many different staff, coach. These really let me feel happy, and I'm so glad for that, but playing is one of the important things for me."

The Chinese federation wanted Li to receive more playing time if she was to remain in the WNBA.

"I just want to play," Li said. "I came to America only for one reason -- just that I want to play basketball."
