Wings rookie Aziaha James has displayed potential, but how can she earn more consistent playing time moving forward?
The No. 1 draft pick was already named an All-Star this season, and she just tied the WNBA’s rookie record with 44 points in Wednesday’s buzzer-beating loss in Los Angeles.
The WNBA is seeing a massive growth in popularity, and a lot of that is due to young superstars Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers. Clark's style of play has been immensly popular since her days at Iowa, while Bueckers has lit the WNBA on fire in her rookie campaign, putting up one of the better rookie seasons we've seen in recent memory.
Dallas Wings forward Maddy Siegrist has established herself as a core foundational piece for the organization as they go through a rebuild. Siegrist was the No.3 overall pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft and has dealt with an anterolateral tibial plateau fracture in her right knee that kept her out of the lineup for nearly two months this season.
Amy Okonkwo has joined Dallas Wings on a seven-day hardship contract, weeks after starring as Nigeria won a fifth straight FIBA Women's AfroBasket title.
It’s been a difficult season for the Dallas Wings, who hold the WNBA’s third-worst record at 9-26 and have dealt with a myriad of injuries.
The Dallas Wings announced the signing of Amy Okonkwo to a seven-day hardship contract on Thursday, and she'll be immediately eligible to play against the Seattle Storm on Friday.
Lobo’s remark reinforced a growing sentiment across the league that the award is no longer up for debate. While Washington Mystics ’ Sonia Citron had been mounting a strong challenge with steady play, Bueckers’ breakout performance shifted momentum heavily in her favor.
