Impending adversity means Paige Bueckers/Wings must find momentum now

6 days ago | highposthoops.com | Jahlil Williams

It only gets harder. The Dallas Wings are on their first win streak of the season after knocking off the Connecticut Sun, following up on their victory over the Golden State Valkyries. The Sun only has two Ws, so it wasn't a huge feat, but right now, any success needs to be celebrated. This team is off to a rocky start, and they need to use this momentum to course correct before the season gets out of hand.
Jaw-dropping Paige Bueckers stats prove change is right around the corner

1 week ago | highposthoops.com | Jahlil Williams

She's proving just how special she is. The number one overall pick of the 2025 WNBA Draft is living up to her billing one month into her promising career. Paige Bueckers is fifth among all guards (not just rookies) in assists per game, second among all rookies in field goal percentage, and she averages more steals than any player in the league, regardless of experience or position. The Wings have only won two games so far, but there's a lot going on in Dallas.
Wings put the worst possible fit around Paige Bueckers-and it's already backfiring

1 week ago | highposthoops.com | Jahlil Williams

There's still time to turn it around. When DiJonai Carrington joined the Dallas Wings this offseason, there were high expectations. Paige Bueckers was joining forces with Arike Ogunbowale, but Chris Koclanes was also coming in with a defensive background to coach the team, and that's been Carrington's calling card.
A'ja Wilson's biggest threat to winning MVP in 2025 is no longer Caitlin Clark

3 weeks ago | highposthoops.com | Jordanna Clark

2025 could be her year. The 2025 WNBA season is only a few weeks old, but the WNBA MVP conversation has already begun. A'ja Wilson won the award three of the past five years (2020, 2022, 2024), and the Aces superstar is a favorite to win again this year, but another star could take home the award for the first time. Napheesa Collier is averaging a league-high 25.1 points per game for the undefeated Minnesota Lynx (8-0).
Pat Summitt wouldn't support 'free agency' of transfer portal, Muffet McGraw says

Tennessee's legendary coach valued the integrity of the game above all elsePat Summitt and Muffet McGraw had a pretty dynamic professional relationship. Summitt's Lady Vols relentlessly beat McGraw's Fighting Irish for 20 games before Notre Dame knocked Tennessee out of the Elite Eight in 2011; Summitt retired the following year after announcing her diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's, so the teams never had another rematch.
Gilbert Arenas' misogynist & homophobic rant erases what little credibility he had

3 weeks ago | highposthoops.com | Jahlil Williams

You gotta be kidding me. It's easy to forget what our expectations are sometimes. Most sensible sports fans already have a negative view of Gilbert Arenas that's spanned for nearly a decade, if not more. But when someone is in the public eye as much as he is, their worthlessness can slip your mind, leading you to listen to what an irrelevant mouth spouts more than you should.
Wings' Chris Koclanes problem runs risk of ruining Paige Bueckers early years

3 weeks ago | highposthoops.com | Jahlil Williams

This couldn't have been the best they could do. I've seen the same question over and over from Dallas Wings fans. "How did Chris Koclane get the head coaching job?" There won't be a favorable answer to that question, and I'm not sure it matters much at this point. The question you should be asking is if you're willing to let a new coach go through growing pains, or are you already over Coach Koclanes' tenure eight games in?

Rickea Jackson has words for social media accounts that perpetuated these reportsRickea Jackson has been missing in action for the Sparks since suffering a concussion during the team's third game of the season on May 27. That automatically meant she would miss the next two games, but Jackson has yet to return to the floor for the Sparks.

Moore earned a Hall of Fame honorFormer WNBA star Maya Moore was selected to be inducted to the Hall of Fame in 2025. Moore's honor recently drew a response from Las Vegas Aces head coach Becky Hammon, who addressed the subject as the Aces defeated the Seattle Storm 75-70 on Sunday. "Maya, I mean, just from college... she was an electric player," Hammon said, via Landon Buford.
Mystics rookies drawing A'ja Wilson comparisons for a good reason

Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen are offering a masterclass for WNBA newbiesIt's no secret that the Washington Mystics are largely considered to have won the WNBA Draft — the team pulled in Kiki Iriafen, Sonia Citron, and Georgia Amoore this year. Though Amoore is out with an ACL injury she suffered before the season began, Iriafen and Citron have offered a masterclass in rookie preparation.
