How to watch Wings at Storm: Dallas without Paige Bueckers; Seattle tries to right ship
The WNBA in-season Commissioner's Cup rolls on, with a national TV look for the Dallas Wings and Seattle Storm. The visitors find themselves without Paige Bueckers, who is shelved in concussion protocol, while the hosts find themselves mired in volatility — a three-game losing streak washing away three consecutive wins. Here's what you need to know for Tuesday night's tip-off. This broadcast will also be available on ESPN+. Seattle has an established big three on the offensive end. Veterans Skylar Diggins (17.9 points per game) and Nneka Ogwumike (16.9 ppg) are dealing out their usual damage; forward Gabby Williams (14.0 ppg) is breaking out in her fourth season with the Storm. Together, they lead a scoring punch that's second in field goal percentage and third in assisted baskets. Advertisement Still, they've taken tough Ls in each of their last three outings. An inspired comeback against the formidable Aces fell 5 points short on Sunday. They lost to the Dream last Friday, after Rhyne Howard dropped a season-high 33 points and Allisha Gray added a career-best 28 versus the Storm's defense. Seattle was also defeated by the Lynx — these days, who isn't? — though the 82-77 final reflected some competitive juice. Tuesday night should be something of a get-right game against the floundering Wings. Dallas is 1-6 and will have to pull off this road upset without Bueckers (concussion). Through seven contests, the Wings are 11th in defensive rating and fast-break defense, ninth in second-chance points and last in defensive rebounding. Dallas hits this game after losing a home-and-away mini-series to the Sky. Stalwart guard Arike Ogunbowale leads the team in scoring, but she's doing so on paltry 36/30 percent splits. Newcomer DiJonai Carrington is off to the worst shooting season since her rookie campaign, and fellow offseason add Myisha Hines-Allen has career highs in turnovers and fouls. In better developments, Maddy Siegrist, 2023's third-overall pick, has four blocks across her last two games and has hit double-digit scoring in all but two games this season. The Commissioner's Cup began Sunday and runs through July 1's championship action. Four different teams have won in four iterations. Minnesota is the reigning champ, while New York took the trophy in 2023. Las Vegas won the Cup en route to the 2022 WNBA championship, and Seattle won the first-ever tourney back in 2021. Best player to wear both jerseys: This is a tough call. We could go with Hall of Famers Swin Cash and Katie Smith, or six-time All-WNBA star and current Storm guard Diggins.
