Kuier, originally selected second overall by Dallas in the 2021 WNBA Draft, returned to the team after a successful stint in European leagues. During the 2025-26 season with Galatasaray in Turkey, she averaged 12.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks per game. Her return has bolstered the Wings' roster, providing both offensive and defensive contributions. (cdn.wnba.com)
The game against the Fever saw the Wings battling a shorthanded lineup, which contributed to their late-game struggles. Despite taking an early fourth-quarter lead, a 19-1 run by the Fever sealed the Wings' fate. Kuier's performance, however, remains a bright spot, highlighting her development and importance to the team's future success. (cdn.wnba.com)
