DALLAS SCOUTING REPORT
The Dallas Wings were eliminated from playoff contention with Wednesday's loss to the Los Angeles Sparks. Wednesday's game was a tightly contested affair as Paige Bueckers scored the most points by a WNBA player this season (44) and tied a league record for the most points ever by a rookie, but Sparks' guard Kelsey Plum sank the game-winning floater to end Dallas' postseason aspirations. Bueckers is firmly in the Rookie of the Year conversation, leading all rookies in points per game (19.4) and assists per game (5.1). She is one of three players this season averaging at least 19 points and five assists, joined by Plum and Sabrina Ionescu.
