ARLINGTON, Texas — Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers is no longer listed in the team's injury report, apparently clearing the way for her return from a four-game absence, first with a concussion and then an illness. Bueckers is set to play at the Phoenix Mercury on Wednesday night, a day after going through a full practice.

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 Wings have gone 0-4 without Bueckers in the lineup and currently have the worst record (1-9) in the league. Dallas' lone win this season came over the Connecticut Sun -- the team with the second-worst record in the WNBA.
