Overview
- Bueckers scored 21 points on 8-of-10 shooting, adding seven assists, five rebounds, three steals and one block in the Wings’ 109-87 win over the Connecticut Sun on May 27 at Mohegan Sun Arena.
- The victory snapped Dallas’s four-game losing streak and marked coach Chris Koclanes’s first career win, though commentators have raised questions about his experience and the team’s early-season play execution.
- Playing 33 minutes per game, Bueckers has become the first WNBA rookie to record at least 60 points and 30 assists in her first five games, highlighting how heavily she has shouldered Dallas’s offense.
- The Chicago Sky, still seeking their first win at 0-4 and struggling with defensive breakdowns, will host the Wings on Thursday night in a matchup that also features former LSU star Angel Reese.
- Guard Tyasha Harris is listed as questionable with a knee injury for the upcoming game, potentially placing additional playmaking duties on Bueckers and veteran Arike Ogunbowale.
