Overview

  • Paige Bueckers has yet to record a win in her first four WNBA appearances, posting averages of 13 points, 6.3 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game for the Dallas Wings.
  • Both the Wings and Connecticut Sun opened the season 0-4, marking Dallas’s worst start since 2019 and underscoring Connecticut’s offensive struggles after losing its entire starting five in the offseason rebuild.
  • Bueckers became the fastest player since Sue Bird to reach 50 points and 25 assists in her first four professional games.
  • Dallas has dropped 13 straight contests dating back to last season and is allowing a league-high 86.5 points per game under first-year coach Chris Koclanes.
  • Connecticut, led by first-year coach Rachid Meziane and veteran Tina Charles, ranks last in scoring at 68.0 points per game and will lean on home support at Mohegan Sun Arena.
