During the win over Team Mexico, Damiris Dantas posted 24 points, six rebounds and four assists per game. She was also effective on the defensive end, notching three steals in the game for Team Brazil.
Dantas has helped Team Brazil for years, producing quality numbers during the AmeriCupW. The Fever forward has been playing professional basketball since 2010 with COC/Jundai.
Damiris Dantas is currently working through her second season with the Indiana Fever. During the 2025 season with the Fever, Dantas has posted 5.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game.
