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?

Why tennis needs Andre Agassi in the broadcast booth
There was a moment during Andre Agassi’s broadcast debut for TNT earlier this year when he unwittingly made tennis television magic.He had been asked to break down the Carlos Alcaraz backhand, identifying a small tweak in technique that had previously gone unmentioned among commentators.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“Here’s last year; he’s taking the ball up higher, his right arm is a little bent so the racket head is going up long before it comes down,” Agassi began, launching into a two-minute dissection of why Alcaraz’s new straight-arm takeback was more effective.[Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season]“When you watch the ball here, because of what he’s doing, that ball can travel deeper in the strike zone and they don’t know if he’s going to hold and pull it cross or hold if he’s going inside offline, and he […]

Why Keegan Bradley should select himself for the U.S. Ryder Cup team
This isn’t hard. For all the ceremonial weight we attach to the Ryder Cup, all the nationalistic chest-beating and come-get-some attitude, this is fundamentally a friendly exhibition whose only real stakes are pride in the moment and legacy hereafter.Granted, pride and legacy are the beating heart and eternal soul of golf, so you can see why Keegan Bradley, captain of the United States Ryder Cup team, might be a bit hesitant to choose himself as a member of his own team. What if the United States team loses? What if a pairing sanctioned by Bradley goes horribly wrong? What if Bradley himself plays poorly?AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementCounterpoint: What if America wins?
