Taking chances on German-born basketball talent has historically worked well on Dallas’ pro basketball scene, and if her WNBA career’s first few weeks proved anything, it’s that Luisa Geiselsöder has the potential to keep that tradition alive. Decked in the Dallas Wings’ blue, green, and cyan-colored uniforms for the first time since being drafted in 2020, Geiselsöder compensates for lost time, winning the rookie-on-rookie battle against Kariata Diaby with a right-side drive, followed by a fallaway, milestone jumper. Endorsed already for her leadership and readiness, the 25-year-old first-year contributor opened with two points (on one-of-one shooting), establishing the goodwill necessary for extended playing time and a first-ever start two weeks later. Geiselsöder’s successful three-minute introduction came alongside regular-season win No. 1 for her team, as the Wings overwhelmed the Connecticut Sun for a 22-point triumph on May 27, 2025. · May 27, 2025
