Dallas Wings Forward Maddy Siegrist Out Weeks with Knee Fracture

Dallas Wings forward Maddy Siegrist is sidelined with a right knee injury diagnosed as an anterolateral tibial plateau fracture, sustained during a June 11 game against the Phoenix Mercury. The injury does not require surgery, and Siegrist is expected to make a full recovery and return later in the 2025 season, with an estimated healing time of six to eight weeks, although it could extend if a meniscus tear is involved. Siegrist, a third-year player and the Wings' 2023 third overall draft pick, has been averaging 9.4 points and 5.2 rebounds over 11 games this season. Her absence, coupled with injuries to guard Tyasha Harris and the temporary loss of centers Teaira McCowan and Luisa Geiselsoder due to EuroBasket, has significantly depleted the Wings’ frontcourt. This situation is expected to increase playing opportunities for other players such as center Li Yueru and forward Nalyssa Smith as the team navigates a challenging roster period. Despite the setbacks, the Wings remain focused on moving forward and continuing their season.
