The Dallas Wings will welcome their youngest superstar back to the court on Wednesday.
Paige Bueckers will return on Wednesday against the Phoenix Mercury, without any minutes restriction, head coach Chris Koclanes told reporters on Tuesday.
The No. 1 pick missed the last four games for the Wings, three due to concussion protocol and one due to illness.
The Wings have a league-worst 1-9 record this season and have lost all four contests without Bueckers — their sole victory this season came against the Connecticut Sun on May 27, the last game Bueckers played in.
The UConn national champion is second on Dallas for average points with 14.7, and fourth in the entire WNBA for assists at 6.7. She is also averaging 4.7 rebounds and 2.0 steals on a team-high 34 minutes per game through six appearances.
Meanwhile, Wings teammate Tyasha Harris, who has already missed half of the games this season, has been ruled out by the team for the remainder of the year after undergoing a successful procedure to repair a left knee injury.
The 27-year-old had a breakout season in 2024 and was last seen on the court in the Wings' win over her former team, the Sun.
