The Wings lost all four games without Bueckers, which saw their losing streak extend to five straight contests. Dallas will be looking to end this skid on Wednesday against Phoenix as it hopes to improve on their league-worst 1-9 record on the season.
It won't be an easy task for a struggling Wings side, but there's no denying that getting Bueckers back is a major boost for this squad. The highly touted rookie is not expected to have any restrictions in her return to action, which means that Bueckers will likely get her usual load for Dallas.
