Timeline
Awak Hiba Kuier (born 19 August 2001) is a Finnish basketball player for the Dallas Wings of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), but she'll be skipping the 2024 WNBA season, and the Finnish national team.
Selected by the Wings with the second overall pick in the 2021 WNBA draft, she was the second Finnish player in the history of the league after Taru Tuukkanen to be drafted, and she became the first Finnish player to play in the WNBA in May 2021.
Growing up in the city of Kotka, Kuier was discovered for basketball by a neighbour at age 10, when she stood already 180 cm tall.
The man contacted Mikko Kokkola who was coaching basketball at the local Peli-Karhut club who invited her to practice.
At the age of 14, a video of her dunking went viral online.
At the age of 16, she joined the Helsinki Basketball Academy.
She then later declined offers from American universities to sign a professional contract with Passalacqua Ragusa in Italy.
Selected 2nd overall in the 2021 WNBA draft by the Dallas Wings, she was the first non-American player since Australia's Liz Cambage in 2011 to be selected in the first five picks of the draft.
After missing the first few games of the 2021 season, she made her debut for the Wings on 27 May 2021, scoring a point, a rebound, and an assist in seven minutes of game time in a 101–95 loss to the Atlanta Dream.
In addition to her speed and resilience, Kuier's features also include an exceptionally large wingspan of about seven feet.
On June 10, 2022, in a game against the Seattle Storm, Kuier became the 8th woman in WNBA history to dunk a basketball.
On January 22, 2024, Kuier announced that she will skip the 2024 WNBA season.
She represented Finland at the 2019 U18B FIBA Women's European Championship, winning the championship and being named tournament MVP.
She was then named to the All-Star Five at the 2019 U20B FIBA Women's European Championship, helping Finland to a second-place finish.
She was born in Cairo, Egypt and is of South Sudanese origin.
She moved to Finland as a refugee with her family when she was two years old, first settling in the city of Kotka.
Today, her family has settled in the coastal town of Uusikaupunki and she holds dual Finnish and Egyptian citizenship.
She speaks Italian, Arabic, Finnish, and English.
Kuier has four older brothers and her parents are Jehovah's Witnesses.
