Overview

  • The Dallas Wings announced Bueckers will not play in Saturday’s home game against the Washington Mystics due to a right knee injury.
  • This will be the fifth contest she has missed in her rookie season after earlier stints in concussion protocol and an illness layoff.
  • On June 27, Bueckers delivered a season-high 27 points along with six assists, two steals and two blocks in a loss to the Indiana Fever.
  • She became the first WNBA player to record at least 25 points, five assists, two steals, two blocks and zero turnovers in a single game.
  • Dallas must now adjust its lineup without its leading scorer and primary playmaker as the team navigates a thin veteran roster.
