The Dallas Wings return home Wednesday night to face the Toronto Tempo in an interconference matchup, with the team looking to end a three-game slide.
Trade-offs
Before Dallas’ 94-76 defeat to Veronica Burton and the Golden State Valkyries on Friday, the rookie was ruled out after her right knee flared up unexpectedly during warmups. Because of a right knee injury, marking her third consecutive missed contest, 1 overall pick out of Wednesday’s game. Dallas has struggled to regain momentum since the WNBA All-Star break, managing just one victory in its last six games. The Wings will now hope home-court advantage can help them turn things around, although their injury situation could make that task more difficult. One of the biggest concerns is the continued absence of rookie Azzi Fudd. Dallas has ruled the No. The injury also kept Fudd out of Sunday’s matchup against the Minnesota Lynx. Fudd is not the only player Dallas will be without Wednesday. The Wings have three additional names on their injury report, including Jessica Shepard. Shepard has also been ruled out after sustaining a right ankle injury during Sunday’s loss to the Lynx. The absence will be her first of the season.
