The Dallas Wings are set to face the Chicago Sky on Saturday, set for a rematch from their previous loss.

On Thursday, the Wings suffered a 97-92 loss to the Sky, falling to 1-5 on the season.

Now, heading into a matchup against Chicago at 8 p.m. ET, all eyes are on the Wings, who will be hosting the Sky yet have struggled in nearly all facets.

While they struggle to find consistency on either end of the floor, Dallas has also been hit with various injury woes, plaguing their early season success.

Heading into the game on Saturday night, Wings reporter Joey Mistretta revealed that Paige Bueckers will be sidelined (concussion protocol) and her backup Ty Harris has also been ruled out of the game due to a knee injury.

Mistretta later revealed that the following players are candidates to start in place of the guards: Teaira McCowan, Maddy Siegrist, Aziaha James and JJ Quinerly.

Paige Bueckers was the first to be ruled out. She has been ruled out of the next two games for the Dallas Wings as she's placed on the WNBA's concussion protocol, which seemingly occurred in the team's last matchup against the Chicago Sky.

So far this season, the rookie out of UConn, has posted 14.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game.

Ty Harris, who was "officially" ruled out ahead of the game against the Sky, has averaged 4.6 points, 1.0 rebound and 2.6 assists per game.

It's a stinger to have both players on the sideline for the Wings, but they'll look to lean on home-court advantage against the 1-4 Sky.
