DALLAS — The Dallas Wings have waived former Iowa State guard/forward Ashley Joens.
The WNBA team waived Joens and Jasmine Dickey to make room for returning player Odyssey Sims.
“Odyssey is a proven player in the WNBA who demonstrated in her brief time with the Wings earlier this season that she can contribute to the success of our team,” Wings President & CEO Greg Bibb said in a statement. “We are excited to have her re-join us today.”
The news comes about two months after Joens was taken as the 19th overall pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft.
During her time with the Wings, Joens appeared in eight games, averaging just under two minutes of playing time per game.
Joens is Iowa State's all-time leading scorer and ninth in NCAA history. In her five seasons in Ames, she played in 158 games.
Prior to being waived, Joens was reportedly signed to a contract for three years and $205,145 total.
Now, Joens is a free agent and is able to sign with any other WNBA team or pursue a career overseas.
