Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers is no longer listed in the team’s injury report. It apparently clears the way for her return from a four-game absence, first with a concussion and then an illness.

Paige Bueckers will be making her long-awaited return to the basketball court. The rookie and No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA draft will be active for the Dallas Wings’ Wednesday night road game against the Phoenix Mercury (6-4) after she sat out the team’s last four games due to concussion protocol and later illness.

The UConn alum and the No. 1 pick for the 2025 WNBA Draft, Paige Bueckers, was absent for part of the season due to a concussion after a game against the Chicago Sky on May 30. But then, after clearing the concussion protocol on Saturday, she was ruled out for the game against the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday due to illness.
