Notable Storylines
Last Week at a Glance ... The Wings went 2-1 last week with wins over the Golden State Valkyries and at the Connecticut Sun. Dallas led the league in rebounding (39.7) and free-throws made (21.7), and finished fifth in scoring (84.7), assists (20.7) and steals (9.0).

A Big Baylor Welcome... The Baylor women's basketball team is expected to be in attendance on Tuesday night when the Wings host the Dream. The game will feature a trio of notable Baylor alumni, including DiJonai Carrington, NaLyssa Smith and the Dream's Brittney Griner. Baylor University is located 100 miles south of Arlington in Waco, Texas. Bears head coach Nicki Collen coached under Wings Executive Vice President and General Manager Curt Miller at the Connecticut Sun.
Dreams Come True ... The Dallas Wings will fulfill a dream for a child battling a life-threatening illness. Ryann Potter has been courageously battling aplastic anemia. Before her diagnosis, Ryann was an active member of a competitive basketball team, traveling frequently for games. Though her illness has forced her to step back from playing, her love and passion for basketball remain stronger than ever. When asked about her special dream, Ryann didn't hesitate for a moment-she dreams of attending a Dallas Wings game. Included in Ryann's itinerary with the Wings this week are trips to shootaround and practice, as well as Tuesday's game against the Dream and Friday's matchup with the Indiana Fever.
Bueckers Benchmark ... With yesterday's 20-point, nine-rebound, seven-assist showing at the Washington Mystics, Paige Bueckers reached the 200-point, 50-rebound, 50-assist mark fastest in league history, doing so in just 11 games.
Change of Scenery ... The Wings traded for center Li Yueru on June 14 with Yueru making her Dallas debut on Tuesday against the Golden State Valkyries. In three games with the Wings, Yueru is averaging 6.3 points and 4.7 rebounds, including a season-high showing of 11 points and nine rebounds in Friday's win at the Connecticut Sun. Over nine games with the Seattle Storm this season, she averaged 2.8 points and 1.6 rebounds.
Top Of The Class ... Dallas Wings rookie guard Paige Bueckers is in a class of her own. She leads all first-year players in scoring (18.2), assists (5.9) and steals (2.0), while listing fourth in blocks (0.9) and rebounding (4.6). Should the stat lines hold, Bueckers would be the first rookie in league history to average at least 15 points, five assists and two steals per game.
Rookies Continue To Wow ... Aziaha James posted career highs in points (17), rebounds (5) and assists (5) in Friday's in at the Connecticut Sun. James and fellow first-year guard Paige Bueckers are two of just three rookies in the WNBA this season to record a 15-point, 5-rebound, 5-assist game, with Bueckers doing so four times.
