DiJonai Carrington and Myisha Hines-Allen have been added to the Dallas Wings’ injury report ahead of Friday night’s matchup with the Las Vegas Aces.
A source tells DallasHoopsJournal.com that Hines-Allen was a partial participant in Thursday’s practice in Las Vegas, while Carrington fully participated. Hines-Allen is officially listed as questionable with a right knee injury. Carrington is listed as probable with a left shoulder injury but is likely to be available.
Dallas (1-10) will face Las Vegas (4-4) at 9 p.m. CT at Michelob ULTRA Arena in a Commissioner’s Cup game airing nationally on ION.
Carrington played through the shoulder injury in Wednesday’s 93-80 loss to the Phoenix Mercury, posting 11 points and a team-high eight rebounds, while dishing out four assists. She is averaging 12.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.2 steals in 26.9 minutes per game. Meanwhile, Hines-Allen has continued to play a starting role for the Wings, averaging 6.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.1 assists in 20.5 minutes per game.
The Wings remain without Tyasha Harris (left knee surgery) and Teaira McCowan (national team obligation). McCowan is competing for Turkey in the FIBA Women’s EuroBasket and is expected to rejoin the Wings in early July.
Dallas continues to lean on rookie point guard Paige Bueckers, who returned from a four-game absence to score a career-high 35 points Wednesday in Phoenix.
The Aces are coming off a 97-89 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks. Jackie Young led Las Vegas with 34 points.
Friday’s game is the first of four regular-season matchups between Dallas and Las Vegas.
