Overview

• Bueckers sustained a concussion following a collision with Courtney Vandersloot in the second quarter and finished with 15 points and eight assists over 36 minutes before reporting postgame headaches.
• Under the WNBA’s concussion protocol, she must miss at least two games—Saturday against Chicago and Tuesday at Seattle—and can only return after medical clearance, with the earliest possible comeback on June 6 versus Los Angeles.
• Dallas has dropped consecutive contests to the Sky by scores of 97-92 and 94-83, with turnovers and defensive lapses exposing chemistry issues without their rookie guard.
• Tyasha Harris’s concurrent knee injury has left the Wings thin on ball handlers, forcing increased playmaking duties on Arike Ogunbowale and reliance on reserve guards.
• Bueckers’s absence, following Caitlin Clark’s hamstring setback, underscores the WNBA’s rigorous safety standards and the strain on team depth and spectator engagement this season.
