Bueckers has played 31 of the Wings’ 39 games this season. The rookie guard missed two contests in May after entering concussion protocol. Following a re-evaluation, her time on the sidelines was extended by another three games.

She sat out an additional game due to illness, but had been available for all other matchups before being ruled out of Wednesday’s clash against Connecticut.

Bueckers is averaging 33.7 minutes, with 19.0 points, 5.2 assists and 3.8 rebounds. Despite her strong numbers, Dallas has struggled. The Wings (9-30) are one of just two teams yet to reach 10 wins and currently sit at the bottom of the standings in 13th place.
