ARLINGTON, Texas — Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers will miss at least two games after being placed under the WNBA’s concussion protocol.
The Wings said Friday that Bueckers, the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft out of UConn, was put in concussion protocol after their 97-92 loss against the Chicago Sky on Thursday. The team didn’t provide specific details on what led to that move. She had 15 points, eight assists and five rebounds in the game.
Bueckers won’t play in Dallas’ home game Saturday against the Sky, or at Seattle on Tuesday. She will be re-evaluated after that.
The Wings are off to a 1-5 start. Bueckers has averaged 14.7 points, 6.7 assists and 2.0 steals a game in her professional debut while playing a team-high 33.9 minutes per game.
