Paige Bueckers is on the brink of a career milestone. The Dallas Wings guard is preparing for her first taste of WNBA playoff basketball, with the Golden State Valkyries standing between her team and postseason progress.
Dallas couldn't have timed their surge much better. The Wings rattled off seven wins in their final eight regular-season games, a run that included a dominant performance from Bueckers - who dropped 22 points in a victory over Toronto to snap a three-game skid.
Now in her second professional season, Bueckers has taken her game to another level. She led all rookies in scoring and assists last year, and her averages have climbed further in 2026. She is just the third player in league history to average at least 20 points, four rebounds and five assists per game across a full season - elite company by any measure.
Bueckers also brought a FIBA World Cup gold medal back from her stint with the US national team, an experience that should only sharpen her competitive edge heading into the playoffs.
Not everything has gone to plan, however. Former UConn team-mate Azzi Fudd joined the Wings this season but was forced to undergo season-ending surgery. Bueckers has acknowledged the blow of losing Fudd, though the team's late-season form suggests they have found ways to cope.
