In a season marked by injuries, the Dallas Wings have faced another devastating blow. During their recent game against the Connecticut Sun on Wednesday, center Luisa Geiselsöder suffered a shoulder injury that prevented her from completing the game. Each new injury further depletes an already thin squad. Amid this latest setback, how will the Dallas Wings survive?
Dallas Wings Injury Woes Deepen Amid Latest Setback
Dallas Wings: An Injury-Ravaged Team
Ahead of the game against the Connecticut Sun, the Wings were already missing key players. Li Yueru, Tyasha Harris, and JJ Quinerly have all been ruled out for the entire 2025 season with left knee injuries. Arike Ogunbowale was also out due to tendinitis in her knee, and there is no definite return date yet. The team’s star player, Paige Bueckers, who was also supposed to cover for Quinerly, was out due to illness.
The team’s injury list continues to grow with each passing day. Missing key players for an entire season is hard for any team to endure. These injuries have even forced the team to sign a player, Serena Sundell, to a hardship contract. Everyone expected the team to catch a break in terms of injuries and return to winning ways after losing their last six games. But more bad news was around the corner for the Wings and their fans.
Luisa Geiselsoder – The Latest Addition to the Wings’ Injury List
For the Wings, having another player join the injury list was the last thing they needed. As of now, the severity of Geiselhoder’s injury is unknown, and fans are waiting to learn how long she will be sidelined. After losing their starting center, the Wings fell 101–95 to the Sun.
Losing Geiselsöder is a tough blow for the team. She has been averaging 9.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 0.8 steals per game. Her absence may force the Wings to make another hardship signing to cover for her.
Salvaging a Rough Season
The Dallas Wings’ injury situation has left them at a major disadvantage. The team holds a 9–30 record and sits in last place in the Western Conference. They are already eliminated from playoff contention, and with five games left, they are simply trying to improve their standing.
The Wings are experiencing something similar to what they went through in the 2024 season. Due to multiple injuries to key players, they finished with a 9–31 record. They must urgently rediscover some form to keep the team motivated and focused. Impressively, the squad remains united, which is key to weathering this severe storm. Even with stars missing, scoring 95 points against the Sun was a positive sign, and the coach praised the team’s fighting spirit.
The Wings may need to rely on more hardship players to stabilize the roster for the remainder of the season. Still, the coach, players, and fans are hopeful this marks the end of their injury woes.
