The Dallas Wings waived Teaira McCowan to complete a trade with the Minnesota Lynx. McCowan, who joined the Wings in 2022, appeared in 17 games for the team in 2025. The 6-7 center averaged 5.6 points and 4.6 rebounds while shooting .537 from the field.

Minnesota selected Diamond Miller with the No. 2 pick out of Maryland in 2023, but the wing never quite hit her stride with the Lynx.

Days ahead of the 2025 WNBA trade deadline (Aug. 7 at 3 p.m. ET), the league-leading Minnesota Lynx made a big swing to try and bolster their title chances. Early on Sunday, the Lynx sent Diamond Miller, Karlie Samuelson and a 2027 second-round pick to the Dallas Wings for 2024 Most Improved Player DiJonai Carrington.
