Wings Coach Jose Fernandez Calls Out 'Selfishness' After Second Straight Loss

The blunt message puts rotations and buy-in under the microscope ahead of Washington.

Overview

  • The Wings fell 90-86 to the Lynx on Thursday, and coach Jose Fernandez said "There's selfishness in this locker room" as Dallas dropped to 1-2.
  • He pointed to stalled ball movement, noting 11 assists in the first quarter, 16 at halftime, and only 22 for the game.
  • Fernandez also faulted defense and rebounding, as Minnesota shot about 60% from the field and 46% from three and cashed in paint and second-chance points.
  • Coverage focused on rotations and roles, with No. 1 pick Azzi Fudd coming off the bench and a guard-heavy backcourt drawing questions about touches and fit.
  • Hall of Famer Cynthia Cooper questioned the 'selfish' label by citing the first-half assist totals and said accountability must include coaches, with Sunday’s Mystics game set to reveal Dallas’s response.
