Wings Win 90-82 as Bueckers Exits After Late Collision

Her game-ending exit creates health uncertainty that could affect Dallas's back-to-back games before the All-Star break.

Overview

  • The Dallas Wings beat the Los Angeles Sparks 90-82 on Sunday, extending a franchise-record six-game winning streak and improving to 17-8.
  • Paige Bueckers led Dallas with 25 points before colliding with Nneka Ogwumike about 3 1/2 minutes left in the fourth quarter and walking to the locker room without returning.
  • There have been no official medical updates on Bueckers' condition after the game, leaving her availability for a rescheduled matchup with the New York Liberty and a game against Portland uncertain.
  • Arike Ogunbowale scored 20 points, hitting six late points to help close out the win, while Jessica Shepard and Azzi Fudd supplied important scoring and rebounding support.
  • The collision underscores how WNBA concussion and injury protocols could alter Dallas's short-term rotation and momentum as the team heads into consecutive games and the midseason break.
