Dallas Wings Make Luisa Geiselsöder Announcement Before Seattle Storm Matchup

With her availability now confirmed, Geiselsöder becomes the latest piece in a restructured Dallas frontcourt that has seen significant change entering the 2025 season.

She played a pivotal role in the LFB Finals as Basket Landes rallied from a 0–1 deficit to win the title, including an 18-point performance in Game 1. Her strong two-way presence made her a consistent starter throughout the postseason.

“Excited to have the full roster here—even though we announced it—until she got through the French championship, which, congratulations to her. Big, big championship for her and her team,” Wings general manager Curt Miller said after Sunday’s practice. “But glad that she’s finally arrived and we’ll get her through medical clearance as fast as possible, FIBA clearance, and then hopefully have her available for the game.”

Miller, who has followed Geiselsöder through her international career with the German national team, highlighted her versatility and adaptability.

“She’s a really versatile post player,” he said. “What stood out to me internationally watching her and preparing for USA Basketball is that she’s an underrated defender around the rim. She can score at multiple levels. She’s talented with her back to the basket, but also can stretch it to three.”

Though excited about her potential, Miller cautioned that Geiselsöder is still working her way into rhythm after missing the entirety of training camp.

“She’s a whole training camp behind, so we know that putting her on the opening day roster is gonna take some time for her to fit in, but [we’re] excited for her potential,” he said.

Dallas had to wait until Landes’ playoff run concluded before bringing her over—a process that Miller said tested the team’s patience.

“She was in an elimination game in the quarterfinals. We had a flight booked. She advanced to the semis. She was in an elimination game in the semis, and we had a flight booked, and she advanced to the final. And then they’re down 0–1 in the championship, and then they win two consecutive games to win the championship,” Miller explained. “So there were many opportunities for Luisa to get here, and while we were disappointed she couldn’t get here earlier, we were happy with her run.”

With her FIBA clearance now finalized and medical evaluations complete, Geiselsöder is expected to be in uniform for tonight’s contest, ready to provide frontcourt depth, rebounding, and floor spacing as Dallas looks to notch its first win of the season.

The Wings (0–1) will host the Storm (0–1) at 7:00 p.m. CT. The game will be broadcast nationally on NBATV and locally on KFAA.
