Paige Bueckers makes historic start to WNBA career

Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers is off to an impressive start in the WNBA, as she set a new record in just five games with Dallas. During Tuesday’s 109-87 win over the Connecticut Sun, Bueckers put up a standout performance, scoring a career-high 21 points.

Her efforts added to an already impressive debut stat line, as she now has 73 points and 32 assists in her first five games. The output made her the first player in WNBA history to post at least 60 points and 30 assists in their first five outings.

Bueckers' performance against Connecticut was efficient as she recorded 20 points, five rebounds and five assists while shooting 80% from the field. No rookie had achieved that shooting accuracy since Temeka Johnson in 2005.
