In the new season of the WNBA season, there were originally 4 Chinese women's basketball players who were awarded WNBA contracts, but because they needed to return to China to participate in the Women's Basketball Asian Cup, Yang Liwei was laid off after communicating with Los Angeles Spark for leave without success, and Li Yueru was announced to be out of the WNBA tournament this season due to injury, leaving only Li Meng and Han Xu to participate in the WNBA tournament of the new season.

In the first three games of the new season, Li Meng only had two appearances, of which the first game was less than 1 minute, and then the third game came off the bench for 2 minutes and 32 seconds, still scoring 0 points.
