“We Got a Max For You”: WNBA Fans Demand Their Teams to Sign Paige Bueckers’ Teammate Awak Kuier After Epic Turkish League Outing

Awak Kuier delivered a standout performance in Turkey’s Women’s Basketball Super League, scoring 19 points, grabbing nine rebounds, and adding three assists and four steals in Galatasaray Cagdas Faktoring’s 85-62 victory over CBK Mersin. The Dallas Wings forward’s dominant play has reignited fan speculation about her future, with Indiana Fever supporters openly advocating for her to join their roster.

Kuier’s defensive impact has been a cornerstone of her career, including a franchise-record seven blocks in a single game against the Fever on August 20, and she led the WNBA in defensive win shares this season with 1.8 blocks per game. Despite her strong showing, Dallas Wings general manager Curt Miller confirmed Kuier remains a priority for the team, stating her retention is a key focus during restricted free agency.

Kuier is currently under a one-year, $525,000 contract with the Wings, who are preparing for a busy offseason to rebuild their playoff-contending roster.
