Dallas Wings Get Bad News on Monday originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Dallas Wings will take the court without their rookie point guard Paige Bueckers on Tuesday night against the Seattle Storm after she was ruled out under the WNBA’s concussion protocol on Monday.
Bueckers, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, sustained the injury late in Thursday’s 97-92 loss to the Chicago Sky, and Dallas-based reporter Grant Afseth announced on X that she would miss at least Tuesday's game.
This latest setback comes as the Wings continue to search for their identity early in the season, sitting at 1-6 after back-to-back losses to Chicago, tied for last place in the league standings.
Despite the lofty expectations surrounding Bueckers entering her rookie campaign, the Wings have struggled to gain traction.
In 2024, Dallas finished with a 9-31 record, ranking fifth in the WNBA’s Western Conference under head coach Latricia Trammell.
Entering 2025, Dallas hoped to improve upon that record by blending veteran scorers like Arike Ogunbowale (22.2 points per game last season) and emerging talent in NaLyssa Smith, Maddy Siegrist, DiJonai Carrington and Bueckers.
However, the season has not gone as planned.

After opening the year with four straight defeats, the Wings finally notched a win against the Connecticut Sun on May 27 with a 109-87 victory featuring 21 points, seven assists and five rebounds from Bueckers.
Unfortunately, they followed that up with consecutive losses to the Sky.
Through her first six games, Bueckers was averaging 14.7 points, 6.7 assists and 4.7 rebounds per contest, while leading the team in assists, steals (2.0) and blocks (1.0).
