Bueckers' Scoring Burst Fuels Wings as They Head to Toronto

Paige Bueckers' recent scoring lift is giving Dallas a steadier offense ahead of a multi-game road trip.

Overview

  • The Wings beat the Connecticut Sun 86-83 after Paige Bueckers scored 25 points and led an 11-point fourth-quarter comeback that erased a late deficit.
  • Jessica Shepard continued to anchor Dallas with an all-around game, contributing 14 points and leading the team in rebounds as she ranks about 11.3 rebounds per game.
  • Dallas is 12-8 and opens the road swing with two games against the Toronto Tempo, who have multiple absences listed on their injury report including Brittney Sykes and Kiki Rice.
  • The schedule puts a premium on load management for Dallas because the Wings play Toronto twice with a New York game sandwiched between and then return home for mid-July AAC play.
  • Off the court the franchise released renderings for a new Oak Cliff practice facility that is under construction and is expected to open next spring, signalling investment in player development after a quick turnaround from last season.
