Dallas Wings All Set To Face Chicago Sky
The Chicago team is all set to head to Dallas as both teams face each other in their next match-up. Fans will get to witness two of the WNBA’s top stars in action. The Chicago Sky has Angel Reese on their team. At the same time, the Dallas Wings got Paige Bueckers on their team.
After one of the worst seasons, the Wings have started making a comeback. Out of their last seven matches, the team has won five them. Veterans DiJonai Carrington and Arike Ogunbowale got injured earlier in the season, which came as a huge shock to the Wings. Since then, Bueckers has been in charge of the team. Eventually, she gave an injury scare. She took a hit to the head during her last match against the Phoenix Mercury, but it seems cool.
With Bueckers confirmed and a new signee for Wings, we could expect an interesting match between the Sky and Wings. The Wings’ season has been injury-prone, and they have suffered a lot.
Bueckers scored 11 points in 24 minutes on Monday, continuing her excellent rookie season. In 15 career games, she has averaged 18.2 points, 5.5 assists, and 4.1 rebounds, shooting 46.5 percent from the field and more than 35 percent from three-point range.
