Dallas Wings forward Maddy Siegrist will miss time with a knee injury that won't require surgery
ARLINGTON, Texas — Dallas Wings forward Maddy Siegrist is recovering from a right knee injury that won't require surgery but will keep her out of the lineup for some time.
Siegrist suffered the injury in a loss at Phoenix. The Wings said the injury won't require surgery and the third-year player is expected to make a full recovery and return to the lineup 'later this season.'
The Wings said Siegrist was diagnosed with an anterolateral tibial plateau fracture. WebMD describes the tibial plateau as the bone more commonly known as the shin bone, and being made up of cartilage.
Dallas drafted Siegrist third overall out of Villanova in 2023, and she has averaged 9.4 points and 5.2 rebounds a game in 11 games this year. The Wings last month exercised her fourth-year rookie contract option for next season.
She won the Athletes Unlimited individual championship in March, outscoring Odyssey Sims in the four-week event in Nashville.

WNBA Reacts to Paige Bueckers' Clutch Shot in Wings-Mystics Game
WNBA Reacts to Paige Bueckers' Clutch Shot in Wings-Mystics Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Sunday was an action-packed day for the WNBA. One of the games on the docket was the Washington Mystics hosting the Dallas Wings at CareFirst Arena as Paige Bueckers and Co. looked to make it three straight wins for the first time this season. Advertisement The game turned out to be quite a nail-biter, with neither team willing to let up. As a matter of fact, the matchup required an extra period to determine a winner--and this would not have been the case had it not been for Bueckers' clutch time heroics for Dallas. The frontrunner for this season's Rookie of the Year title knocked down a huge three-pointer with 11.0 seconds remaining to tie the game at 84-84. The Mystics were not able to respond on the other end, which meant that Bueckers' shot sent this game to overtime. The WNBA took to social media to share its reactions to Bueckers' game-tying triple in regulation. "WE ARE HEADED TO OT OFF THIS PAIGE BUECKERS THREE! 🚨" the league posted on X. Unfortunately for Bueckers and the Wings, they fell short in the extra period. Bueckers actually had another opportunity to tie the game with another clutch trey in the dying seconds of OT, but her attempt from 27 feet out with 2.8 seconds remaining failed to find the bottom of the net.

Bueckers finished the game with 20 points on 7-of-17 shooting, nine rebounds, seven assists, a steal, a block and one triple in 40 minutes of action. The Wings get a day off before returning to action on Tuesday in a home game against the Atlanta Dream. Bueckers and Co. will enter that contest with a 3-12 record.
