Ajae

Petty

The Wings released Petty from her seven-day contract on Monday to sign the forward/center to a deal that ensures she’ll be available for Thursday’s season finale against the Mercury. She’s only made one appearance for Dallas thus far, playing three minutes in a September 7 loss to the Sparks.

Injuries continue to stack up for the draft lottery bound Dallas Wings. After the Wings announced that they had lost stretch center Luisa Geiselsöder for the rest of the regular season with a shoulder injury, the Wings went and signed Petty, an undrafted 6'3" forward who’s known for rebounding the basketball at a very high level. Petty signed a training camp contract with the Lynx this past spring but was waived on May 7, the week before the regular season began.

The Wings announced on Tuesday that their center Luisa Geiselsöder won’t play in the Wings’ final three games. She suffered a shoulder injury on August 27 while the Wings played against the Sun. Throughout her rookie season Geiselsöder, proved to be a intriguing WNBA talent and she proved to be a competent scoring stretch center who reads the game well. She averaged 6.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 28 games for the Wings this season. Following this announcement, the Wings were able to sign yet another player to a 7-day hardship, Ajae Petty. Petty went undrafted this past spring but the Lynx brought her into training camp in April to get a look.
