Wings rookie standout Paige Bueckers will return from a four-game absence when Dallas visits the Phoenix Mercury on Wednesday night.

Bueckers missed three games due to a concussion and another because of an illness.

Bueckers was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft after being a college star at UConn, where she was a three-time first-team All-American and also won one national championship (2025) and one national player of the year honor (2021). She has averaged 14.7 points, 6.7 assists and 4.5 rebounds in six games for Dallas.

Bueckers last played on May 29 when the Wings lost 97-92 to the Chicago Sky. She had 15 points, eight assists, five rebounds, three steals and three blocked shots.

Dallas has a 1-9 record, which ranks last in the 13-team league.
