Bueckers, the No. 1 pick of the 2025 WNBA draft, is averaging 17.7 points, 5.8 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game as a rookie. The Wings dropped to 4-13 after the loss Friday, and they'll look to right the ship Saturday with a home tilt against the Washington Mystics (8-8).

The Dallas Wings announced rookie guard Paige Bueckers will miss Saturday's game against the Washington Mystics because of a right knee injury.

Dallas listed her as being out with a right knee injury for their game against the Mystics later that night. One of the few concerns about Bueckers coming into the WNBA was her injury history, as she had two major knee injuries while at UConn, suffering a tibial plateau fracture and torn meniscus in 2021 and then tore her ACL in 2022.
