  • The Wings have dropped five consecutive games to fall to 8-24 and sit 12th in the WNBA standings.
  • In her return from a lower-back injury, Bueckers scored 17 points on Sunday and became the fastest rookie in league history to reach 450 points, 100 rebounds and 100 assists.
  • Dallas has struggled through recurring second-half breakdowns, including a 61-37 scoring deficit after halftime in Sunday’s loss to the Mystics.
  • Bueckers leads all rookies in scoring (18.5 ppg), assists (5.3 apg) and steals while oddsmakers maintain her clear edge for the Rookie of the Year award.
