Wings guard joins Paige Bueckers on injury report vs. Sky
The post Wings guard joins Paige Bueckers on injury report vs. Sky appeared first on ClutchPoints. Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers was recently placed in concussion protocol and will miss a minimum of two games. It is unquestionably a difficult blow to a team that is just 1-5 overall so far in the 2025 WNBA season. Following the news, the Wings released their official injury report for Saturday's game against the Chicago Sky. Bueckers was not the only player listed on it, as guard Tyasha Harris is listed as questionable due to a knee injury. Advertisement Harris did not play on Thursday in the Wings' 97-92 loss against the Sky in Chicago due to the knee concern. There is a chance that she could return for the Sky-Wings rematch on Saturday night in Arlington, however. Harris, a 27-year-old, is a backup guard for Dallas. With Bueckers out, Harris could potentially start if she is available. Tyasha Harris making important impact on Wings in 2025 season In five games played this season, the veteran guard is averaging 4.6 points, 2.6 assists and 1.0 rebounds per game. She is shooting 44.4 percent from the field and 45.5 percent on her three-point attempts as well. Advertisement Harris has already played an important role in 2025 with this Wings team. As mentioned, though, she could be on track to start given the Buckers injury news. Dallas needs another reliable ball-handler alongside Arike Ogunbowale in the starting lineup. Rookies Aziaha James and JJ Quinerly are also candidates to start. Dallas could turn to Maddy Siegrist or Teaira McCowan if they want to utilize a big starting lineup. Either way, a player who has primarily come off the bench will need to start on Saturday due to Bueckers' injury absence. The Wings will provide updates on Tyasha Harris' injury status before Saturday's matchup. Dallas is set to host Chicago at 8 PM EST in what projects to be another competitive affair following Thursday's exciting game.

Paige Bueckers placed into WNBA concussion protocol, will miss at least 2 games
Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers has been placed in the WNBA's concussion protocol, the team announced Friday. As a result, Bueckers will miss a minimum of two games. She will be reevaluated after the Wings travel to play the Seattle Storm on Tuesday. The team said Bueckers was placed under the protocol after Dallas' loss to the Chicago Sky on Thursday. It is not entirely clear what led to Bueckers being placed in concussion protocol. Some suspect Bueckers may have sustained the concussion during the final minute of the first half, when she was fouled by Chicago guard Courtney Vandersloot. Bueckers stayed on the ground for a moment before being helped up by teammates. Advertisement Bueckers played 36 minutes in the 97-92 loss to the Sky. She scored 15 points, eight assists and five rebounds. Bueckers' rookie season has had a slow start, as the Wings are 1-5. But Bueckers has already been a key player for Dallas, starting all six games and playing the most minutes of anyone on the team. The Wings' primary offensive production comes from Arike Ogunbowale, who leads the team in scoring, averaging 17.7 points per game. Where Bueckers really shines is with playmaking: The rookie is tied for the league lead with 40 assists and her 12 steals are tied for third.
