Injuries Adding Up …  With eight players on the game status report ahead of Friday’s game, injuries once again make headlines for the Dallas Wings. Through Wednesday’s game against the Connecticut Sun, Dallas players have missed a combined 107 games due to injury or absence. No Wings player has been available for all 39 games this season.

Amazing Amy …  The Dallas Wings signed Amy Okonkwo to a seven-day hardship contract on Aug. 21. In three games with the Wings, she has averaged 11.3 points and 1.7 rebounds while shooting over 56 percent from the field and over 36 percent from three. Her scoring output has increased in every game this season, beginning with eight in her WNBA debut against the Seattle Storm on Aug. 22, followed by 12 against the Golden State Valkyries on Aug. 24, to 14 against the Connecticut Sun on Aug. 27. Okonkwo is just the third undrafted player in the last 20 seasons to average 11.3 points per game or better over her first three games.

Wings Sign Sundell …  With the season-ending injury to JJ Quinerly, the Wings signed guard Serena Sundell to a seven-day hardship contract. Sundell was selected 26th overall in the 2025 WNBA Draft by the Seattle Storm. The 6-2 guard is Kansas State’s all-time assists leader, earning First Team All-Big 12 honors twice over her four-year career, along with AP and WBCA All-America Honorable Mention accolades during her senior season in 2024-25. The Missouri native averaged 14.1 points and 7.3 assists while shooting over 50 percent from the field during her final season with the Wildcats. Sundell was waived by Seattle just prior to the start of the regular season.  She most recently played for the 2025 USA 3×3 Women’s Nations League Team this past July in Chile.
