Throughout the course of her rookie season thus far in Dallas, Bueckers has played in 20 games. She has averaged 18.1 points per game to go along with 5.6 assists, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.8 steals. In addition, she has shot 45 percent from the floor and 32.9 percent from three-point range.

That's the situation Dallas Wings coach Chris Koclanes found himself in on Friday night with rookie guard Paige Bueckers. Bueckers is the definition of a class act, but even she looked confused on the bench while Koclanes was drawing up a play late in the contest against the hosting Golden State Valkyries.

Dallas and Las Vegas just met two weeks ago in Dallas, with the Aces coming away with a tight 90-86 win. Wilson showed her dominant side in that game, going for a ridiculous 37 points and 10 rebounds on 15/25 shooting. Paige Bueckers gave a best effort, going for 20 points, but it was hard to overcome Wilson's incredible effort.

New Wings center Li Yueru opened up about her move from the Storm and how she feels her tenure in Dallas is going.

She missed a few games, including the highly anticipated All-Star Weekend, and fans have been anxiously waiting for any word on her return. Well, the wait might finally be over. According to a new report from ESPN, Clark’s comeback is officially on the horizon and there’s a date to circle on the calendar.

Joining the Dallas Wings in late June, Jones initially joined the team on another hardship contract-- with the franchise dealing with a plethora of injuries.
