Dallas Wings Lose Paige Bueckers to Concussion Protocol Amid 1-5 WNBA Start

The Dallas Wings are facing significant challenges as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Chicago Sky, with star guard Paige Bueckers entering concussion protocol and missing at least two games. Bueckers, the 2025 No. 1 overall pick, has made an immediate impact in the WNBA, averaging 14.7 points, 6.7 assists, and 4.7 rebounds per game while achieving historic statistical milestones that place her among elite players like Caitlin Clark and Candace Parker. Alongside Bueckers' injury, guard Tyasha Harris is listed as questionable due to a knee injury and could potentially start, highlighting the Wings' need for reliable ball-handlers in the starting lineup. Despite a strong individual performance from Bueckers in a recent 97-92 loss to the Chicago Sky, the Wings have struggled overall with a 1-5 record this season. The Sky, meanwhile, secured their first win of the season in that game and are set for a rematch against Dallas on Saturday. The Wings will need to adjust their lineup and hope for timely returns from injured players to improve their fortunes in the competitive WNBA environment.
