DHJ Quick Take: The Evolution of Awak Kuier Elite Two-Way Growth: Awak Kuier returns to Arlington as a completely different player than the 19-year-old prospect who left in 2023. Fresh off being named a EuroLeague Defensive Player of the Year finalist with Galatasaray, the 6-foot-6 Finnish center averaged 12.8 points...

DHJ Quick Take: Flexibility is the New Currency The Financial Gambit: This move is a textbook "salary dump" designed for the new $7 million cap era. By swapping Diamond Miller ($536,588) for Rayah Marshall ($277,500), Curt Miller immediately clears $259,088 in space. Because Marshall’s deal is unprotected, Dallas could potentially...

DHJ Quick Take: Securing Rotation Depth The Frontcourt Anchor: By retaining Li Yueru, the Wings secure a 6-foot-7 "stretch post" whose three-point shooting (36.4%) and interior defense became vital following the trade from Seattle.

The vote authorizes Dallas Wings Development LLC, a subsidiary...

The new CBA raises salaries across the entire league. Younger players who impact the league at an elite level now face a shorter path to the top of the pay scale — and nobody in Dallas should be paying closer attention than Paige Bueckers. Dallas selected Bueckers first overall in...

For the second consecutive year, the Dallas Wings hold the top pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft. A year ago, the choice was obvious. Paige Bueckers was the consensus No. 1 prospect in a generation, and the Wings took her without hesitation. This cycle offers no such clarity, and the...

Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers didn’t dance around the state of WNBA labor negotiations when she spoke to reporters ahead of the Unrivaled semifinals Monday. “At this point, it’s not really a negotiation anymore,” Bueckers said. “Like, both sides aren’t moving. So I feel like we need to continue to...

Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers just wrapped up one of the best rookie seasons in WNBA history. She might not have to wait long for the payday to match. The WNBA sent a new collective bargaining agreement proposal to the players’ union Sunday night that includes a provision allowing young...
