As indicated in the announcement, Bueckers surpassed Wings teammate Arike Ogunbowale for the all-time franchise record. Ogunbowale has been out of action since early August because of a knee injury, and it does not seem like Dallas will bring her back this season with just two games remaining on its schedule.

As for Bueckers, Thursday’s feat is another feather in her cap. She has been incredible all season long, but her outstanding play has not been enough to lead the Wings to a winning record.

Dallas lost its ninth straight game on Thursday and remains at the bottom of the WNBA with a 9-33 record. They are well on their way to finishing in last place this season.
