This was supposed to be the start of a new era for the Wings. Somehow, the results have been even worse than those from the end of the previous one. As a refresher, Dallas finished 9-31 last year, then moved on from two of its most important players, Satou Sabally and Natasha Howard. But the addition of first overall pick Paige Bueckers and a slew of moves from new general manager Curt Miller gave fans reason to be optimistic heading into this season.

The Wings enter the 2025 season with arguably more hype than ever before after the addition of UConn star Paige Bueckers with the first pick in last month’s WNBA Draft. Bueckers is a franchise-altering talent, but that doesn’t mean fans should expect instant success. Dallas finished last season with the second-worst record in the league, at 9-31, and then lost two of its best players.

Last month at a press conference for Unrivaled, the 3-on-3 women’s basketball league that a number of WNBA stars including Arike Ogunbowale are competing in, Satou Sabally made an announcement that was both stunning and unsurprising: she was done playing for the Dallas Wings. Wings fans are familiar with the feeling of seeing one of their franchise cornerstones ask out. Liz Cambage did it. Skylar Diggins-Smith did it. It shouldn’t have been surprising when Sabally did it as well.

Hi! Welcome to the first edition of Some Words On Some Books, a monthly newsletter where I talk a little about all the books I read that month. I guess I should start this first newsletter with a little introduction. My name is Justin Carter. I’ve previously served as the reviews editor of Mid-American Review and Entropy and I currently serve as…well, as nothing, as far as the literary world goes. I left academia for a sports editing job a few years ago and I didn’t really think a lot about books.
