Two teams that have won nine games apiece meet in the Lone Star State with one of the game’s young stars possibly sidelined.
The Dallas Wings (9-29) own the worst record in the Western Conference and as of this writing, their top scorer, Paige Bueckers, is listed as questionable against the Connecticut Sun (9-28). The teams tip-off at 8:00 p.m. ET at College Park Center.
Bueckers, who averages 19.0 points per game, didn’t practice on Tuesday, problematic for a Dallas team trying to snap a five-game losing streak.
The Sun has been shining of late, winning four of six after starting the season at 5-26. Connecticut fell short of upsetting defending champion New York on Monday in an 81-79 road defeat. And Connecticut has lost both meetings with Dallas this season.
