'Excited for Her Potential': Luisa Geiselsöder Reports to Dallas Wings, Could Play Against Seattle Storm

In the LFB Finals, Geiselsöder played a key part in Landes’ comeback from a 0–1 deficit, including an 18-point performance in Game 1. Her consistent production and clutch play earned her a spot in the starting lineup throughout the playoffs and solidified her status as one of the team’s most trusted contributors.

Dallas originally awaited FIBA clearance before she could suit up, but by Sunday evening, Geiselsöder was officially listed as probable on the Wings’ injury report for Monday’s matchup against the Seattle Storm—an encouraging sign that her debut could be imminent.

“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,” said Wings general manager Curt Miller. “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’s development with the German national team and in international play, praised her versatility and maturity.

“She’s a really versatile post player,” Miller 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.”

Although her potential is clear, Miller emphasized that Geiselsöder is still ramping up after missing the entire training camp due to Basket Landes’ extended playoff run.

“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.

Miller shared insight into the Wings’ process for preparing for all possible outcomes regarding Geiselsöder’s timeline to report to the team. This required patience as she advanced through each round of the French postseason.

“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.”

Geiselsöder’s combination of shooting, rebounding, and rim protection fills a clear need for a Dallas frontcourt that is still coming together amid a season of significant transition. With her experience in high-stakes moments and ability to adapt to different roles, the Wings are optimistic that her presence will bring stability and upside as the season progresses.

The Wings are scheduled to host the Storm on Monday, May 19, at 7:00 p.m. CT at College Park Center. Geiselsöder’s probable status puts her on track to make her long-awaited WNBA debut.
