The Dallas Wings begin their season Friday at home against the Minnesota Lynx as Paige Bueckers makes her WNBA debut. Interest in the Wings is at an all-time high with the arrival of Bueckers and several exciting additions to the roster.

Dallas' hoops culture has seen its lows as of late. But Bueckers' arrival and the possibility of drafting Flagg could be a game-changer.

The No. 1 pick of the 2025 WNBA draft scored 15 points as the Wings claimed an 119-52 win over the Toyota Antelopes of the Women's Japan Basketball League. The crowd gave Bueckers a loud cheer as she took the court at College Park Center for her first WNBA action at home. Bueckers was visible early in the game as both a playmaker and scorer.
