Closing out the third quarter of the Dallas Wings’ June 8 matchup against the undefeated Minnesota Lynx, rookie guard JJ Quinerly made an inbound pass to third-year forward Maddy Siegrist for an easy bucket to pull the game within one point. Although it was a bright spot for the Wings to come within one point against a team that is off to one of its best starts in franchise history — a 9-0 record — the Lynx held Dallas to just nine points in the fourth quarter, winning 81-65.
The Wings have been struggling to become one of the elite franchises in the WNBA. Formerly known as the Tulsa Shock, the Dallas Wings have only had a .500 or better record twice in their first 10 seasons. The team was primed to have a good season after cleaning house, keeping only three players from 2024 and landing former UConn star Paige Bueckers with the No. 1 pick.
