Overview
- In Sunday’s 90-82 win over the Los Angeles Sparks, Bueckers scored 25 points before colliding with Nneka Ogwumike with about 3:30 left and hitting the back of her head on the floor.
- Bueckers walked to the locker room under her own power, did not return to the game, and club medical staff completed postgame testing that showed she was not in the WNBA concussion protocol.
- The Dallas Wings announced Bueckers will miss Monday’s rescheduled game versus the New York Liberty for rest and soreness, forcing immediate lineup adjustments with Arike Ogunbowale and others taking larger offensive roles.
- The team is awaiting further evaluations to determine Bueckers’ status for Wednesday’s game and for the July 25 All‑Star Game, as the Wings prioritize a staged medical clearance process for head impacts.
- Dallas improved to 17-8 with the victory, extending a franchise-record six-game winning streak and recording the organization’s best 25-game start since 2008.
