Prior to the contest that is scheduled to start at 8 pm EST, Wing guard Azzi Fudd will not be able to suit up due to a right knee issue.
Dallas announced the update via a social media post on X, formerly Twitter.
This is will be Fudd’s missed game in her very young WNBA career, as the Wings look to stay undefeated in the 2026 regular season.
Fudd made her WNBA debut during last Saturday’s season opener against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.
In that contest, Fudd came off the bench and played for 18 points, coming up with three points on 1-for-2 shooting from the floor (all from behind the arc) to go along with a rebound and a steal. Meanwhile, Arike Ogunbowale had 22 points on 8-for-15 shooting from the field to lead all Dallas scorers, as Odyssey Sims and Paige Bueckers each racked up 20 points for the Wings, who are looking to turn things around after winning just 10 games in the 2025 season.

The win over the Fever was also a great start for Jose Fernandez’s tenure as head coach of the Wings.
Fudd, who was taken first overall by the Wings at the 2026 WNBA Draft, will have her next chance to play on Thursday, when the Wings take on the Minnesota Lynx at home.
