Xiaobao officially announced the season reimbursement!

2:56pm, 20 August 2025【Basketball】

Feiyi officially announced that Li Yueru will miss the remaining 2025 season due to a sprain of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) on his left knee, and will be reimbursed in advance for the season due to injury. Fortunately, it is not a major injury and does not require surgery. It takes about 6 weeks to rest.

However, I personally think this may be good news for Xiaobao. He performed well in the WNBA this season, and it also allowed some teams to see his potential for growth. The Flying Wings itself is a team with very low performance. Even if they play until the end, the result will not be very good. It is better to take the opportunity to take a good rest.

talked about Xiaobao's injury process. When he was playing against the Sparks on August 16, his knee was pressed by the opponent's player. After getting up, he played several rounds, but he obviously felt something was wrong, so he applied for the end. However, there are reports that Xiaobao had knee discomfort in the previous game, but he didn't care much at the time. Finally, the results of the MRI today came out, which was a sprain of the ACL, which was directly reimbursed for the season.

However, Li Yueru's injury time was still good for her, because he had just signed a contract with Mersin of the Turkish League. Although the amount was not announced, referring to the previous contract, it should be about 1 million RMB.

Li Yueru played in the Turkish League for two seasons. In the 2023-2024 season, the team signed: Besiktas, the contract amount: RMB 1 million annual salary

2024-2025 season, the team signed: Bodrum Basketball Club (later transferred to Galatasaray), transfer situation: In November 2024, the team signed: Galatasaray paid the termination fee to sign him from Bodrum.

2025-26 season, signing with Mersin Women's Basketball Team. In the new season, Mersing will continue to compete in the FIBA Women's Basketball European League (Women's Basketball Champions League). If he did not suffer a major injury, Li Yueru should have played in the Women's Basketball Champions League for the first time. However, after 6 weeks of rest, he can play in the Turkish League with all his strength, which should be his best stage. After all, he was the scoring champion last season, unlike the WNBA, which is too unreusable.

Before this injury, Li Yueru's health maintained a good level, playing a total of 31 games, averaging 6 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. Among them, he played in 22 games after joining Fei Wing, averaging 7.4 points and 5.8 rebounds per game, and his performance improved significantly.

Some fans also said that Xiaobao jumped from one fire pit to another, but was still not valued. But at least at Feiyi, she has had many opportunities and has played well for a while, but in the WNBA, she is the top women's basketball team in the world, and the competition is also very fierce.

Li Yueru is a typical example of fighting for her dream. She can return to the country with less money, more money, and close to home, but she chooses to run around the world. Some people say she has not been hard-working. It’s true, but to put it in a movie line, it’s: What’s the difference between a person without dreams and a salted fish?

What's more, Li Yueru is not the one who is short of money. Others have seen the world abroad, received salary, and improved their level. Is this a fact?
