Paige Bueckers was placed in the WNBA’s concussion protocol, meaning she will miss at least two games.
Dallas plays Chicago again on Saturday at home then travels to Seattle next Tuesday. The first game Bueckers would be eligible to return is Friday at home against Los Angeles.
With around one minute left in the first half of Thursday’s game, Bueckers was dribbling beyond the three-point line then exploded towards the middle of the key. Unfortunately, she collided with a defender and went to the ground. There’s been no official statement as to when the injury exactly occurred, but it mayThe have been on this play.
It’s a tough loss for the Wings, as Bueckers is averaging the second-most points at 14.7. She’s also leading the team with 6.7 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game.
