Paige Bueckers will be available for the Dallas Wings’ Wednesday clash against the Chicago Sky at Wintrust Arena. Bueckers’ availability was confirmed after the Wings coaching staff left her name out of their latest injury report.
Although it indicates that Bueckers is fully fit, it's worth noting she was at the receiving end of a concerning moment during Dallas’ recent game against the Phoenix Mercury. The rookie executed a beautiful backdoor cut and received a perfectly timed pass, setting her up for a finish at the rim, but her attempt was blocked by Kalani Brown.
Brown’s elbow unintentionally struck Paige Bueckers’ head. To exacerbate things, the guard seemingly hit her head again as she took a hard fall to the hardwood.
