Just one night after lighting up the court with a 27-point performance, Paige Bueckers has been ruled out-and the timing couldn’t be more frustrating for the Dallas Wings.
The rookie sensation and No. 1 overall pick in this year’s WNBA Draft is officially out for Saturday night’s matchup against the Washington Mystics due to a right knee issue, the team announced.
The surprise news comes less than 24 hours after Bueckers played nearly 36 and a half minutes and dropped 27 points and six assists in a hard-fought 94-86 loss to Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever.
The Wings have not released specific details about the nature or severity of the knee issue, but it marks the fifth game Bueckers will miss this season. She previously sat out three games while in concussion protocol and missed a fourth due to illness.
Paige shined against the Fever
In her 13 appearances, Bueckers has averaged an impressive 18.4 points, 5.8 assists, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.8 steals per game-instantly proving why she was taken first overall.
Friday night’s game was billed as the highly anticipated pro debut duel between Bueckers and last year’s No. 1 pick, Caitlin Clark. But fans were left disappointed after Clark was ruled out with a groin injury-her second straight missed game.
Still, nearly 20,000 fans packed the American Airlines Center in Dallas, eager to watch the league’s next generation of superstars.
Although the head-to-head showdown was spoiled, Bueckers put on a show of her own. After a quiet start, she came alive midgame and almost carried the Wings to an upset win. Her second-half takeover reminded everyone just how dangerous she can be when healthy.
Dallas will be eagerly awaiting its star
Now, questions linger: How serious is this knee issue? Will it slow the momentum Bueckers has been building? And how will the Wings fare without their rising star on the floor?
Dallas hosts Washington on Saturday night at the College Park Center in Arlington-a significantly smaller venue than Friday’s electric crowd downtown. But the buzz surrounding Bueckers remains massive… even as she’s forced back to the sideline.

Collin Sexton trade grades: What the heck are the Jazz doing? Is there a Lakers angle to all this?
The Utah Jazz just completed a curious trade, sending high-volume scorer Collin Sexton and a 2030 second-round selection to the Charlotte Hornets for the modest return of Jusuf Nurkić.This is largely confusing and could be the first step in a series of moves for the Jazz.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementOr ... they could just have made a trade that makes very little sense. Guess we'll find out.Onto the grades we go!Jazz get bigger and perhaps clear opportunities for Ace BaileyLet's get one thing out of the way. Sexton is a better player than Nurkić and not by an insignificant margin. For the Jazz to send out a pick sweetener seems backward, especially when you consider Sexton's contract is just $18.9 million and expires next summer, same as Nurkić's.So this isn't even a cap-clearing move. If anything, the Jazz actually take on money, as Nurkić sits […]
Bayern de Munique abre o placar contra o Flamengo no Mundial de Clubes
O rubro-negro entrou em campo com Arrascaeta titular e defesa formada por Léo Pereira e Léo Ortiz. De La Cruz reapareceu no banco de reservas. Nos dias que antecederam o jogo, houve debate sobre a intensidade necessária contra o time alemão levou. Uma das possibilidades especuladas seria a escalação de Bruno Henrique para fazer um trio de ataque móvel com Luiz Araújo e Plata. Nesse caso, Gerson recuaria para fazer uma trinca de volantes com Pulgar e Jorginho. Porém, o camisa 27 iniciou no banco de reservas e o sistema utilizado na vitória contra o Chelsea (Inglaterra), na 2ª rodada da fase de grupos, foi mantida. No sistema defensivo, o treinador do Flamengo optou por montar uma dupla de zaga com Léo Ortiz e Léo Pereira. Danilo, que só não foi titular na estreia, a vitória contra o Espérance (Tunísia), […]
Jordan Hicks nearing Red Sox bullpen debut with a new pitch after Rafael Devers trade
BOSTON — Entering the 2024 season, the Boston Red Sox targeted hard-throwing right-hander Jordan Hicks to add to their rotation, but finished as runners-up when Hicks signed with the San Francisco Giants for four years and $44 million.Roughly 18 months later, Hicks sat in the Red Sox dugout, exactly two weeks after being traded to Boston as part of the Rafael Devers deal. The irony was not lost on him.Advertisement“I just remember (the Red Sox) came after me pretty hard and it was between them and the Giants,” Hicks said. “So I’m just excited to be here and feel wanted.”The 28-year-old has been on the injury list since early June with toe inflammation, but after two rehab outings with Triple A Worcester, is set to be activated on Monday as the Red Sox begin a three-game set against the Cincinnati […]
