Regardless of what happens on the court, this season could be the Dallas Wings’ most significant yet. The organization has made strides on the business side, debuted a new coach, secured top talent in free agency and landed UConn superstar Paige Bueckers with the No.

In her first preseason game against the Las Vegas Aces, Bueckers scored 10 points on 4-of-7 shooting, including two three-pointers, in 23 minutes. She also grabbed four rebounds. The Wings got routed by the Aces, 112-78.

This past offseason, the Wings acquired DiJonai Carrington, a player who earned the 2024 Most Improved Player of the Year Award with the Connecticut Sun. She also finished fourth in WNBA Defensive Player of the Year voting.
