Paige Bueckers will be making her long-awaited return to the basketball court. The rookie and No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA draft will be active for the Dallas Wings’ Wednesday night road game against the Phoenix Mercury (6-4) after she sat out the team’s last four games due to concussion protocol and later illness.

Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers is no longer listed in the team’s injury report. It apparently clears the way for her return from a four-game absence, first with a concussion and then an illness.

Throughout her rookie season with the Dallas Wings, Paige Bueckers has posted 14.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game. In her last game with the Wings, a matchup against the Chicago Sky where Bueckers' team suffered a 97-92 loss, the Dallas rookie tallied 15 points, five rebounds and eight assists.
