Sources: Wings forward Maddy Siegrist's mysterious knee injury gets potential timeline
The post Sources: Wings forward Maddy Siegrist's mysterious knee injury gets potential timeline appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Dallas Wings announced on Monday that forward Maddy Siegrist has been diagnosed with an anterolateral tibial plateau fracture in her right knee. Surgery will not be necessary and Siegrist is expected to play again at some point in 2025. However, no official injury timeline was provided. A trusted source — who is a doctor — shared a potential injury timeline with ClutchPoints after the news was announced. Advertisement 'If no surgery is needed, it will take the bone six-eight weeks to heal,' the source told ClutchPoints. 'So that would be the earliest timeline possible. If no surgery but there was a meniscus tear (common with a tibial plateau fracture), it could take up to three or four months.' The Wings would obviously prefer the six-eight week timeline in this scenario. It should be noted that these timelines are not official, but they offer an idea of how long Siegrist could be out. It is an unfortunate situation for Siegrist, who has dealt with injury trouble throughout her three seasons in the WNBA. The 25-year-old has averaged 9.4 points and 5.2 rebounds per outing across 11 games played (three starts) so far in the '25 campaign. The fact that Siegrist is expected to return in 2025 means those likely won't be her final numbers this season. The injury is also a significant blow to the team. Guard Tyasha Harris is dealing with a knee injury of her own and is expected to miss the remainder of the season as a result. Additionally, centers Teaira McCowan and Luisa Geiselsoder are currently away from the team for EuroBasket. Advertisement With all four players set to miss time, the Wings will have to be creative with their lineups. Dallas will move forward despite the difficult circumstance. The Wings will host the Golden State Valkyries on Tuesday night at 8 PM EST in Arlington, TX.

Wings sign 2 players after concerning Maddy Siegrist injury
The post Wings sign 2 players after concerning Maddy Siegrist injury appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Dallas Wings have signed Kaila Charles and Haley Jones to hardship contracts, the team announced Tuesday. Both players are expected to be available for the Wings' game on Tuesday night against the Golden State Valkyries. Advertisement The news comes after it was revealed that Maddy Siegrist will miss a significant amount of time with a knee injury. Siegrist is expected to return later this season, but her official injury timeline has yet to be revealed. Tyasha Harris will miss the remainder of the season with a knee injury. Luisa Geiselsoder and Teaira McCowan are currently away from the Wings while they participate in EuroBasket. The Wings qualified for hardship contracts amid all of the absences. Dallas is hopeful that Charles and Jones can positively impact the team. Charles played 11 games with Dallas before getting waived on Saturday. She will now receive another opportunity with the Wings with the hardship contract. Charles has averaged 4.9 points and 3.5 rebounds per outing so far this season. The 27-year-old brings versatility to the roster at 6'1″. Advertisement Jones also offers versatility. The 6'1″ 24-year-old can play the guard or forward positions. She appeared in four games with the Phoenix Mercury in 2025 before the team headed in a different direction. Jones averaged 2.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game during that span. The Wings will enter play on Tuesday night with a 1-11 overall record. Dallas could still turn things around, but the team certainly needs to begin winning games as soon as possible. The absences of four impactful players obviously won't help matters, but perhaps Kaila Charles and Haley Jones will make a difference for the short-handed Wings. The Valkyries are 5-5 so far in 2025. Golden State will present a challenge as Dallas hopes to earn a big victory at home. Tuesday night's tip-off is scheduled for 8 PM EST in Arlington, TX.

Wings get mixed injury updates for Valkyries clash
The post Wings get mixed injury updates for Valkyries clash appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Dallas Wings held practice on Monday ahead of their upcoming Tuesday night matchup against the Golden State Valkyries. Arike Ogunbowale — who did not practice Sunday due to an illness — returned on Monday and will seemingly be available for Tuesday's game barring any unforeseen circumstances. Maddy Siegrist, however, did not practice as she continues to deal with a knee injury. Advertisement Siegrist was a late addition to Friday's injury report against the Las Vegas Aces and was ultimately ruled out with the aforementioned knee injury. She attended practice on both Sunday and Monday, but did not participate. After practice on Monday, the Wings announced that Siegrist has been diagnosed with an anterolateral tibial plateau fracture in her right knee. Surgery is not expected to be required, though, and Siegrist will likely return to the Wings later this season. Ogunbowale's return to practice is encouraging, though. Dallas is hoping to earn its second victory of the season on Tuesday night, something that would have been especially challenging without Ogunbowale. The Wings are still going to be short-handed, however. In addition to Siegrist's expected absence, Tyasha Harris remains out as she will miss the season due to a knee injury of her own. Additionally, Luisa Geiselsoder and Teaira McCowan are currently participating in EuroBasket. The recent trade for Li Yueru will help matters, though. The Wings acquired Yueru in a deal with the Seattle Storm on Saturday. With Wings centers McCowan and Geiselsoder away from the team, Yueru will provide a pivotal boost. Advertisement Dallas will enter the contest with a lackluster 1-11 record. Golden State — the league's latest expansion team — holds a 5-5 record up to this point in the '25 campaign. The Wings' record may not suggest it, but they will have a realistic chance of getting the job done at home on Tuesday night. With Arike Ogunbowale likely to play and Paige Bueckers performing at a high level in her rookie season, perhaps Dallas will take care of business. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 PM EST.

Wings' latest injury updates will catch fans' attention before Sun clash
The post Wings' latest injury updates will catch fans' attention before Sun clash appeared first on ClutchPoints. ARLINGTON, TX — The Dallas Wings will play the Connecticut Sun on Friday night in a road matchup. Dallas is looking to earn a second consecutive victory after defeating the Golden State Valkyries 80-71 on Tuesday night. Although forward Maddy Siegrist and guard Tyasha Harris will remain out on Friday due to knee injuries and centers Teaira McCowan and Luisa Geiselsoder are still away from the team at EuroBasket, the Wings have no new injuries to report. Advertisement Of course, being without those four players is far from ideal. At the very least, Dallas does not have any other injuries to report, though. The Wings are looking to build momentum following Tuesday night's big win. At just 2-11, Dallas has work to do but the roster features enough talent to make a competitive run. From a depth standpoint, the roster was recently addressed in the form of two hardship signings. On Tuesday — before the game against the Valkyries — Dallas signed Kaila Charles and Haley Jones to hardship contracts. Additionally, the Wings acquired Li Yueru from the Seattle Storm in a trade on Saturday. Meanwhile, Paige Bueckers is in the middle of a terrific rookie season while Arike Ogunbowale is beginning to get things going following a challenging start to the year. Yes, this Wings team still has questions to answer, but their 2025 outlook is brighter than their 2-11 record may indicate. What's next for the Dallas Wings? The Wings are hoping to avoid more injury trouble moving forward. Any other long-term absences would be far from ideal for an already short-handed roster. Advertisement Dallas' game on Friday in Connecticut represents the first of two contests on the road before heading back home. Friday's matchup is scheduled for 7:30 PM EST in Connecticut while the Wings will play the Mystics in Washington on Sunday afternoon at 3 PM EST.

Paige Bueckers, Wings Get Crucial Update Amid Latest Injury Setback
Paige Bueckers, Wings Get Crucial Update Amid Latest Injury Setback originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Paige Bueckers has had a less-than-ideal start to her WNBA career. Despite the fact that the no. 1 overall pick has averaged 17.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.9 steals in eight games played thus far, it still remains that the Dallas Wings are the worst team in the league right now with a 1-11 record. Advertisement The Wings were on the receiving end of some unwanted news on Monday after third-year forward Maddy Siegrist was diagnosed with a fractured right knee. While the team reported that Siegrist will not undergo surgery, the 25-year-old isn't expected to be back until "later this season." Siegrist is no star, but this loss is still a considerable blow for the Wings, especially amid the national team obligations of Luisa Geiselsoder and Teaira McCowan, who have both stepped away from the team to represent their countries in the EuroBasket tournament. Veteran guard Tyasha Harris is also out due to a left knee injury. Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers (5)Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images The Wings, however, got a significant boost on Monday after four-time All-Star Arike Ogunbowale returned to practice. The two-time All-Star MVP missed Sunday's practice due to an illness, but she was able to recover in time ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Golden State Valkyries. Advertisement Ogunbowale was not included in Dallas' injury report against the Valkyries, and she is expected to suit up. It has been a rough start to the season for Ogunbowale as well, who is currently averaging a career-low 16.6 points per game on 35.5 percent shooting. While there have been flashes of brilliance here and there, the partnership between Ogunbowale and Bueckers has yet to reach its true potential. Be that as it may, the Wings will still be looking to turn their season around, and a win against Golden State on Tuesday will be a step in the right direction.
