Dallas’ 88-77 loss to New York on Friday dropped the team to 8-23 on the 2025 season and 1-2 against the defending WNBA champions.

Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers has been ruled out of a rematch with the New York Liberty due to a back injury that required treatment during the first meeting three days earlier.

Paige Bueckers’ Wings Emerge as Favorite for Top WNBA Draft Pick originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Selected first overall out of UConn in the 2025 WNBA Draft, 23-year-old Paige Bueckers has lived up to the hype, averaging 18.6 points, 5.4 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game while shooting 45.7% from the field and 33.3% from distance.
