Arlington, TX (June 19, 2025) – The Dallas Wings return to the road for a pair of games beginning Friday at the Connecticut Sun. Tipoff at Mohegan Sun Arena is slated for 6:30 p.m. CT, with the game airing nationally on ION. Brendan Glasheen and Ashley Battle will have the call, with Terrika Foster-Brasby reporting.

The Wings (2-11) and Sun (2-10) met just over three weeks ago in Connecticut with Dallas scoring a 109-87 victory. In what was a homecoming for former UConn standout Paige Bueckers, the rookie scored a then-career-best 21 points.

Dallas is coming off an 80-71 home victory over the Golden State Valkyries on Tuesday. Bueckers had a game-high 20 points while NaLyssa Smith had six points and a game-best 10 rebounds. Connecticut has lost four in a row, most recently an 83-75 setback to the Phoenix Mercury on Wednesday night despite 16 points from Aneesah Morrow.

Following Friday’s game, the Wings remain on the road to visit the Washington Mystics on Sunday. The first meeting of the season between the two is scheduled for a 2 p.m. CT tipoff, with the game airing locally in the Dallas-Fort Worth area on KFAA29.

Top Of The Class … Dallas Wings rookie guard Paige Bueckers is in a class of her own. She leads all first-year players in scoring (17.7), assists (5.7) and steals (2.1), while listing second in blocks (1.0) and fourth in rebounding (4.4). Should the stat lines hold, Bueckers would be the first rookie in league history to average at least 15 points, five assists and two steals per game.

Hardship Signees … The Dallas Wings signed guard-forwards Kaila Charles and Haley Jones to hardship contracts the team announced on Tuesday. Prior to the signings, the Wings were at eight available players due to injuries to Tyasha Harris and Maddy Siegrist, and National Team obligations for Teaira McCowan and Luisa Geiselsöder. Per league policy, teams qualify for a hardship exemption once they dip below 10 available players. Charles spent the first 11 games of the 2025 season with the Dallas Wings, averaging 4.9 points and 3.5 rebounds. Jones comes to Dallas after two seasons with the Atlanta Dream (2023-24) and four games with the Phoenix Mercury this season as a hardship signee.

Maddy Siegrist Injury Update… Dallas Wings forward Maddy Siegrist has been diagnosed with an anterolateral tibial plateau fracture in her right knee. The 6-2 forward sustained the injury in the June 11 game at the Phoenix Mercury. Siegrist underwent subsequent testing to confirm the injury while Dallas was on the road late last week. The injury does not require surgery; Siegrist is expected to make a full recovery and return to the Wings lineup later this season. Additional updates will be provided at the appropriate time.

Welcome, Li… The Dallas Wings have acquired center Li Yueru from the Seattle Storm in exchange for two future draft selections, the team announced on Saturday. The Storm will receive Dallas’ 2026 Second Round pick, which includes the right to swap with the Connecticut Sun, and Dallas’ 2027 Third Round pick, which includes the right to swap with the Indiana Fever. Yueru, a 6-foot-7 center, brings both size and experience to Dallas’ frontcourt. Over nine games in Seattle this season, she shot 50-percent from three and nearly 92-percent from the free-throw line.
