ARLINGTON — On the same day that point guard Paige Bueckers was named WNBA Rookie of the Month for June, it was only fitting that all of the Dallas Wings rookies showed out in the 98-89 win against the Phoenix Mercury.

Seems things are getting a bit serious for Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings, a team that appeared all but left for dead back when they were 1-11 and appeared to be on their way to a second straight No.

Paige Bueckers is back and continuing to excel. The 2025 No. 1 pick made her return to the Dallas Wings lineup Thursday and helped guide her team to a 98-87 victory over the Phoenix Mercury.
