The Dallas Wings are fresh off a matchup against the Indiana Fever, playing the WNBA's fan favorite team without Caitlin Clark. 

After losing to the Fever while Clark was sidelined with a groin injury, the Wings had a quick turnaround, set to play the Washington Mystics. 

Before a matchup against the Mystics on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET, the Wings announced a loaded injury report. 

Several players will be sidelined for the game against Washington, including rookie Paige Bueckers, who has been ruled out with a right knee injury. 

"Game Status Report: @DallasWings vs. @WashMystics," posted the Dallas Wings' public relations team. "Paige Bueckers – Out (Right Knee) DiJonai Carrington – Doubtful (Rib) Luisa Geiselsöder – Out (Nat. Team Obligation) Ty Harris – Out (Left Knee) Teaira McCowan – Out (Nat. Team Obligation) Maddy Siegrist – Out (Right Knee)." 

Paige Bueckers was active against the Indiana Fever just a few hours ago, having an incredible game against Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell and company. 

In the matchup against the Fever, Bueckers posted 27 points, one rebound, six assists, two blocks and two steals, leading the Wings in scoring. 

Bueckers became the first player in league history to record a game with 25+ points, 5+ assists, 2+ steals, 2+ blocks and zero turnovers in a game. 

Paige Bueckers previously missed time with the Dallas Wings, having been on the WNBA's concussion protocol and dealing with an illness that held her out of the lineup for a handful of games during her rookie campaign.
