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.
