The Dallas Wings are one of the worst teams in the WNBA this season. They hold the third-worst record in the league with a miserable 5-13 record. It’s about time the team starts to put things together, but even in their dull moments, some players are showing great promise.
Dallas is coming off a huge win after defeating the Washington Mystics in their last game. The Mystics have a better record at 8-9, but they struggled to win. Washington fell behind as their opponent tossed in 79 points and restricted them to only 71.
Dallas Wings Rookie JJ Quinerly Leads Her Team To Victory
The team gave rookie JJ Quinerly the opportunity to play her first game in the big leagues. Without any surprise, Quinerly put up a great show to lead her team to victory. She tossed in 15 points and showed great promise on the court.
Along with Quinerly, Aziaha James also tossed in 15 points. Despite the absence of Paige Bueckers, the team did a fine job against a tough opponent. Quinerly was just the right player to help them secure a win.
Dallas Wings Hold Paige Bueckers Out As A Precautionary Measure
Bueckers was removed from the squad just before the game. The team was forced to keep her out against the Washington Mystics due to a right knee injury. Fans were worried about Bueckers’ absence, and many started to react on social media. However, head coach Chris Kolcanes stated that she was held out as a precautionary measure.

The Dallas Wings would not want to risk anything happening to Bueckers. They are already struggling, and it’s safe to say that Bueckers is one of their top players.
It came as a surprise to many, especially after Bueckers had a strong game against the Indiana Fever. Bueckers going up against the Fever and Caitlin Clark was one of the most anticipated games. However, Clark was kept out of the game due to injury as well.
Bueckers scored a team-high of 27 points against Caitlin Clark’s Fever. She contributed six assists, two triples, and two steals. Despite her hard effort, they were unable to win against Indiana.
