Paige Bueckers Earns WNBA Rookie Achievement Caitlin Clark Didn’t Reach originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Dallas Wings are now 8-18 during the 2025 WNBA season after a 92-82 win over the 17-8 New York Liberty. With the victory, Dallas moved up to 11th place in the league standings and now sits just 5.0 games out of the playoff picture.

In Wednesday's 88-85 loss to the Atlanta Dream, Bueckers put forth another strong performance, only strengthening her case for Rookie of the Year. The UConn alum logged a game-high 21 points, seven assists, two rebounds, and a steal, and she wrote her name in the WNBA record book in the process.

There’s a particular moment from a Dallas Wings game, early in Paige Bueckers' rookie season, that tells you everything about her style. It’s a mid-June contest against Golden State. The Valkyries show a soft full-court press.
