The Dallas Wings are struggling mightily this season and currently sit at the bottom of the WNBA standings. After dropping five consecutive games and losing nine of their last 10, Paige Bueckers and her teammates have a 9-29 record.
They face a crucial matchup on Wednesday against the Connecticut Sun, who are just ahead of them with a 9-28 record. A victory for Dallas could improve their standing and help them steer clear of a last-place finish, with five games remaining after this pivotal showdown.
Paige Bueckers in Danger of Missing Sun Game
The Wings received more troubling news, as Paige Bueckers’ status for Wednesday’s matchup is uncertain. The team revealed that their standout rookie is listed as questionable due to an undisclosed illness.
Adding to the concern, Bueckers missed Tuesday’s practice, raising further doubts about whether she will be able to take the court against the Sun.
Wings Dealing With Injury Crisis
In addition to Bueckers, four-time All-Star Arike Ogunbowale also missed Tuesday’s practice and has already been ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the Sun with a right knee injury.
The Wings will also be without Ty Harris, JJ Quinerly, and Li Yueru for the matchup. Meanwhile, Myisha Hines-Allen is reportedly handling a personal matter and may not be available, though she has not been officially listed on the injury report.
Wings Sign Serena Sundell
The Wings have turned to reinforcements amid their mounting injury woes, signing 6-foot-2 guard Serena Sundell, a third-round pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft.
Dallas announced the move on social media Tuesday. Sundell was originally selected 26th overall by the Seattle Storm but was waived before the season began, leaving her without a roster spot.
The Wings’ current injury crisis has opened the door for Sundell, who, at 22, could make her WNBA debut against the Sun, especially given Dallas’ thin backcourt. A standout at Kansas State, Sundell earned two All-Big 12 selections and NCAA All-Region honors, finishing her college career with averages of 12.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.0 three-pointers per game.
