Wings forward suffers injury scare vs. Fever
The post Wings forward suffers injury scare vs. Fever appeared first on ClutchPoints. DALLAS — The Dallas Wings were defeated by the Indiana Fever on Friday night, losing by a final score of 88-78. Indiana got the job done on the road despite Caitlin Clark's injury absence. During the fourth quarter, Wings forward Myisha Hines-Allen suffered an injury scare. Hines-Allen fell to the floor hard during a play in the final quarter. She was clearly in pain and the training staff — along with her teammates — circled around her. Hines-Allen was helped to her feet and exited the game with assistance. It appeared to be some sort of leg injury. She did later return to the bench, however. Chris Koclanes was asked after the game if he had any new updates on Hines-Allen's injury status. The Wings head coach, however, said there were no updates on the forward. The fact that Hines-Allen was able to return to the bench is promising. The hope is that she avoided any kind of serious injury. The Wings have dealt with injury trouble all season long, so the last thing they need is another long-term absence. It goes without saying, but her injury situation will be worth closely monitoring moving forward. Updates will be provided as they are made available. With a few days until the Wings' next game, Hines-Allen will have time to rest. Hines-Allen, a 29-year-old veteran, has endured an up and down season. She entered Friday night's affair averaging 6.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists per outing. She was also shooting 46.9 percent from the field ahead of the contest. Overall, the Wings have struggled throughout the 2025 campaign. They now hold an 8-21 record in 2025. The team will attempt to bounce back in their next contest against the Liberty in New York on Tuesday. It has been a challenging campaign for this Wings team, but they will continue to play hard in hopes of finishing the season strong.

ESPN proposes much-needed Indiana Fever trade deadline acquisition
As the WNBA's Aug. 7 trade deadline looms, ESPN shared moves it believes should be made throughout the league, including the Indiana Fever adding skill and scoring depth. In the article, ESPN proposes the Fever acquiring Dallas Wings forward Myisha Hines-Allen in exchange for center Damiris Dantas and a 2026 second-round pick. Here's what ESPN said about the proposed flip: After shooting 36% on 3s last season, split between the Mystics and Lynx, Hines-Allen is down to 30% this season. Since Hines-Allen is a career 35% shooter, improvement should be expected. Even that down season from Hines-Allen has been better beyond the arc than Dantas, shooting 26.5% (34% career but just 31% since 2021). As a third post behind starters Aliyah Boston and Natasha Howard, Hines-Allen should be an improvement. And with the Wings five games out of the eighth seed, getting anything in return would probably make this trade worth it. - Kevin Pelton, ESPN While Hines-Allen scored 7.8 points per game on 49.2% shooting from the field and 36% from 3-point territory last season in her combined stints with the Washington Mystics and Minnesota Lynx, she has taken a dip in those numbers this year as the eighth-year forward has shot just 46.7% from the field and 29.6% from 3-point territory for the lowly Wings. Given the Fever's need for another consistent scorer behind starters Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston with Caitlin Clark sidelined, Hines-Allen would be a significant improvement on the offensive end. Although Indiana has recently seen quality scoring depth off the bench from players like Lexie Hull, Sophie Cunningham, and Makayla Timpson, the team can ill-afford to be complacent as they make their second-half push towards the WNBA playoffs. As for who they would be giving up in the hypothetical transaction, the Fever send forward Damiris Dantas, who has served as a decent reserve player this season for Indiana. Despite missing time due to being named to Brazil's 2025 FIBA Women's AmeriCup roster this past June, Dantas has averaged 4.6 points per game on 33.3% shooting from the floor and 26.5% accuracy from long range in 20 games played.
