The Wings ended the regular season celebrating and honoring one of the best players in the WNBA, Tamika Catchings, as she played her final regular season game for her career. Earlier in the afternoon, the entire team honored Catchings with an autographed Dallas Wings 2016 jersey as a thank you.
Dallas will return next summer for their second season in the DFW area.
