  • Rong Niu broke her left wrist on July 1 during the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup final between the Indiana Fever and the Minnesota Lynx and spent 11 hours in a Minneapolis hospital.
  • The performer’s signature unicycle routine has made her a recognizable halftime fixture, with social media posts and team tweet calling Rong Niu, known professionally as Red Panda, an iconic performer balancing custom-made bowls, seen in her Jan. 5, 2024 performance.
  • After a brief recovery, her agent said she resumed appearances beginning Oct. 23 at an Amazon Prime event and several universities, and reports noted she wasn't on the injured list for very long.
