Paige Bueckers is currently bracing up for the Unrivaled MVP talks. But while she is sharpening her tools in the 3-on-3 league, the 23-year-old star is also preparing for the upcoming WNBA season. Playing for the Dallas Wings, the previous year was a nightmare. Finishing last, the team will be desperate to bounce back this year.
Despite being awarded the 2025 Rookie of the Year, the Wings’ star found herself as a lone warrior on the team. Thus, there are major efforts from the team’s front office to bring in some radical changes. Thankfully, one recent $27 million upgrade is supposed to make a huge difference.

Following a lacklustre season, axing head coach Chris Koclanes was the first step. As part of the shakeup process, the Wings brought in Jose Fernandez as their new head coach. And it looks like the authorities have not stopped trying to provide the players with the latest facilities.
As per Dallas Hoops Journal’s Grant Afseth, the Wings have gotten the green light for their latest $27 million practice facility. Construction crews have already started work, and they will complete the facility, touted as one of the WNBA’s best, by 2027.
