Paige Bueckers Listed Probable for Wings’ Game Against Aces

A probable tag for a minor left-leg issue could shift Dallas’s scoring load to Arike Ogunbowale, Jessica Shepard or Azzi Fudd.

Overview

  • The Dallas Morning News reported that Bueckers is listed as probable for the upcoming matchup against the Las Vegas Aces while managing a left-leg issue that is not believed to be serious.
  • If Bueckers cannot play, the Wings are expected to redistribute offensive duties to Arike Ogunbowale, Jessica Shepard and rookie Azzi Fudd as primary ball-handlers and scorers.
  • Bueckers has emerged as Dallas’s focal player this season with efficient numbers that include about 19.3 points per game, strong shooting splits and near 5 assists per game.
  • The matchup pairs the improving Wings, who have won three of four and hold a 4-3 record, against the reigning champion Aces, who beat Dallas twice last year.
  • Availability updates before tipoff could change game planning for both teams so pregame reports from Dallas beat writers should be watched for final confirmation.
