Paige Bueckers Makes WNBA History With Wings

Paige Bueckers has made an historic start to her WNBA career with the Dallas Wings, becoming the first player in league history to record at least 60 points and 30 assists in her first five games. She achieved this milestone with a standout performance in Connecticut, scoring a career-high 21 points on 80% shooting, along with 7 assists and 5 rebounds, to help Dallas secure its first win of the season. Bueckers also became the first rookie since Temeka Johnson in 2005 to record a 20-5-5 stat line on 80% shooting. Her early success has drawn comparisons to WNBA legends and set new rookie benchmarks. Despite the Wings' 1-4 record, Bueckers' impact signals a promising future for the team. Her rapid transition to the pros has confirmed expectations from her top draft status.
