Paige Bueckers returned to the court against the Phoenix Mercury after missing four games for the Dallas Wings. On her comeback, she put up a historic 35 points on the board in 37 minutes played, with six rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block.

Bueckers returned to the court Wednesday night after missing four games due to concussion protocol and an illness.

Bueckers, who returned after missing four games due to concussion protocol and an illness, made her first six shots of the game and finished 13 of 19. She became the fourth rookie in Dallas history to score 30-plus points in a single game, with Arike Ogunbowale the last to do it in 2019.
