Overview

• The Dallas Wings announced Friday that the No. 1 overall pick has entered the WNBA’s concussion protocol and will sit out the next two games against Chicago and Seattle.
• Bueckers suffered the concussion in Thursday’s 97–92 loss to the Sky after logging 36 of 40 possible minutes in perhaps her strongest performance as a rookie.
• She will be evaluated following Tuesday’s game at Seattle, with the earliest possible return slated for June 6 when Dallas hosts the Los Angeles Sparks.
• Through her first six games, the rookie is averaging 14.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists per contest while tying for the league lead in total assists.
• Dallas’s 1–5 start has heightened reliance on veteran guard Arike Ogunbowale to take on expanded playmaking and scoring duties.
