Notable Storylines
Rookies On Display All four of the first-year players on the Dallas Wings roster put up career-best numbers on Tuesday at Connecticut. Paige Bueckers led the charge with 21 points off 8-10 shooting, to go along with five rebounds, a game-high seven assists, two steals and a block. Aziaha James came off the bench to score nine points in nine minutes, going 2-3 from three while making all three free-throw attempts. JJ Quinerly added five points off the bench, going 2-2 from the field, while Luisa Geiselsöder saw her first game action and sank her lone field goal attempt.
Full Circle Moment Dallas Wings Head Coach Chris Koclanes scored his first win as a WNBA head coach on Tuesday at the Connecticut Sun. With a large amount of family present, the New York native picked up the win where he had started his WNBA journey. Koclanes served on the Connecticut Sun staff from 2016-22, including as defensive coordinator when the Sun reached the 2019 and 2022 WNBA Finals as well as the 2020 and 2021 Semifinals.
Picking Up Where She Left Off Maddy Siegrist had a breakout season in 2024, and has continued her hot trend into 2025. The third-year forward is the highest scoring reserve player in the WNBA, averaging 10.8 points per game to list third on the Wings overall. Siegrist is one of four players coming off the bench in the league that are averaging double figures (Kennedy Burke, New York, 10.3; Lexie Hull, Indiana, 10.0; Jade Melbourne, Washington, 10.8) but boasts the highest average among those who have not started a game this year, as Melbourne and Hull have each been in the starting five at least once.
Return to Texas Several of the new faces on the Wings roster have strong Texas ties. DiJonai Carrington and NaLyssa Smith both played collegiately at Baylor, while Smith is a San Antonio native. Tyasha Harris was drafted seaventh overall by the Dallas Wings and spent her first three professional seasons with the team before making her return this offseason.
New season, new faces ...Dallas announced its official 2025 roster on May 15, consisting of just three returning players from the 2024 season (McCowan, Ogunbowale, Siegrist). The Wings' new additions span from its draft class and free agency signings to the front office, where several key leadership additions mark a new era in franchise history.
#WingsUp ...The official hashtag for the 2025 season is #WingsUp, to celebrate the franchise's 10th season in North Texas. The Wings have advanced to the WNBA Playoffs five of their first nine seasons in Dallas, including reaching the Semifinals in 2023.
Wings expand distribution for Local Broadcasts ...Two months after naming TEGNA station KFAA in Dallas-Fort Worth, its exclusive local broadcast partner, the Wings are expanding their broadcast reach through additional agreements with TEGNA, Gray Media, and Corridor Television. The agreement will triple the team's local TV footprint, bringing free, over-the-air Wings games to 6.3 million households across 12 markets during the 2025 season. The agreements position the Wings as a league leader in geographic reach and among the best in number of households with access to local broadcasts
