The Dallas Wings have been struggling to find any momentum to begin the 2025 WNBA season.

With a record of 1-8, the Wings have dropped four straight games as they head into their third game against the undefeated Minnesota Lynx.

2025 No. 1 overall pick Paige Bueckers has been struggling to stay healthy recently as she's battled a concussion as well as an illness, resulting in her not playing for the Wings since their May 29 game against the Chicago Sky.

As the Wings look to find their first win since May 27, the team has received some positive news on the rookie guard before they take on the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday.

Paige Bueckers has been listed as probable after missing the last three games, battling back from concussion protocol, the Dallas Wings' PR team announced on X.

Although the Wings haven't found a consistent answer to winning games, Bueckers' absence has been crucial, as the Dallas guard is leading the team in assists, steals, and blocks and is the team's second leading scorer so far this season.

Her stat line through six games in 2025 include 14.7 points, 6.7 assists, 4.7 rebounds, 2.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks.

Bueckers was the No. 1 overall selection in the 2025 WNBA Draft out of the University of Connecticut.

She is definitely not used to losing as much as the Wings have to start the 2025 season, as Bueckers helped her Connecticut Huskies win the 2025 NCAA Women's National Championship in April.

Although nothing is certain, her odds of joining the Wings' lineup on Sunday are heading in a positive direction.
