Arlington, TX (May 17, 2023) – The Dallas Wings have finalized their 2023 roster, the team announced today.
The Wings have waived centers Kalani Brown and Charli Collier and their roster now sits at the league-maximum 12 players.
Entering their eighth season in the metroplex, the Wings will be led by two-time WNBA All-Star Arike Ogunbowale. The Milwaukee native averaged 19.7 points in 2022, tying her for third in the WNBA. Ogunbowale is joined by newly-acquired forward Natasha Howard, a three-time WNBA champion, two-time All-Star and former Defensive Player of the Year. At the helm for the Wings will be head coach Latricia Trammell, who makes her WNBA head coaching debut in 2023 after spending the three previous seasons as the lead assistant coach for the Los Angeles Sparks.
The Wings front court features recently extended 6’7 center Teaira McCowan who is coming off a strong showing during her 2022 campaign. McCowan, after joining the Wings in 2022, earned WNBA Player of the Month accolades for August. She is joined by 2021 All-Star Satou Sabally, who enters her fourth season with the Wings.
