The Dallas Wings did not get off to the best start this season. Having signed Paige Bueckers in the 2025 WNBA Draft, the UConn point guard has contributed to the team and demonstrated her talent, becoming one of the favorites for Rookie of the Year.
However, her personal results have not translated into wins for the Wings, and she could go down in history for this reason.
Paige Bueckers brushed off by her own former teammate
The record Bueckers doesn’t want to hold
In her first year in the league, Paige was one of only ten rookies to start in the All-Star Game. In addition, scoring 44 points in a game against the Los Angeles Sparks (the most ever scored by a rookie) last week.
As if that weren’t enough, she received the WNBA Rookie of the Month award twice and is the first rookie guard to record 350+ points and 100+ assists in the first 20 games of her career. Just to name a few of her accomplishments this year.
Her 19.0 points, 5.2 assists, and 3.9 rebounds also put her ahead of her Washington Mystics rivals for Rookie of the Year, Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen. And with all this as proof, it’s no wonder Paige is one of the favorites.
However, at the Dallas Wings, the story is a little different: currently last in the WNBA standings with a 9-29 record, the team is already virtually eliminated from playoff contention. And it is because of this performance that the 23-year-old point guard is in danger of becoming the Rookie of the Year with the fewest wins in her rookie season.
With only nine wins, Bueckers trails Seimone Augustus (2006) and Jewell Loyd (2015), who each had 10 wins in their first year, according to @PolymarketHoops.
Now, with only six games left, the Wings will need to get at least two more wins to prevent Bueckers from setting this unprecedented record.
Their next opportunity will be on Wednesday, the 27th, against the Connecticut Sun at the College Park Center. Will they get another win?

„Náš parťák Lukáš Železník měl v sobotu ráno, v den zápasu, vážné zdravotní komplikace. Nechtěli jsme o tom informovat hned, dokud se jeho stav nestabilizoval a neměli jsme jistotu, že je v pořádku.

Anderson, Buttler star as Originals beat Superchargers
James Anderson and Jos Buttler starred as Manchester Originals inflicted a seven-wicket defeat upon Northern Superchargers ahead of their Hundred Eliminator contest.The Superchargers were already assured of a place in a Saturday showdown at The Oval but missed the chance to move above the Trent Rockets into second place as they lost at home for the first time in this year's tournament. The Originals won the toss and chose to field, with Anderson bowling the first 10, and rapidly picking up his first and second wickets in The Hundred, accompanied by a broad grin.He then had his former international team-mate - and Superchargers captain - Harry Brook dropped in the deep before seeing England's white-ball captain try his falling-over scoop, with the failed attempt leaving Brook on his bottom and Anderson in stitches.Brook (20 off 20) was then caught off […]

Liverpool-Star verriet es – Was van Dijk nach dem Rot-Foul sagte
Es war ein Drama bis zur letzten Minute!3:2 siegte Liverpool im Duell mit Newcastle. Die „Magpies“ legten aber los wie die Feuerwehr, drückten Liverpool tief in die eigene Hälfte. Doch ohne den streikenden Alexander Isak musste Anthony Gordon als Not-Stürmer ran – Chancen hatte er, Tore nicht. Stattdessen schlug Liverpool zu: Ryan Gravenberch erzielte die Führung gegen den Spielverlauf.Kurz vor der Pause dann die Wende: Gordon rauschte mit gestrecktem Bein in Kapitän Virgil van Dijk. Nach VAR-Check gab es Rot – eine harte, aber nachvollziehbare Entscheidung. Van Dijk zu Sky: „Ich sagte zu ihm, wenn das kein Platzverweis ist, dann verstehe ich Fußball nicht. Ob Absicht oder nicht – es ist passiert, wir machen weiter.“Mehr zum Thema<!-->[-->Trotz Unterzahl kämpfte sich Newcastle zurück, traf in der 88. Minute zum 2:2.
