Despite Bueckers' rock-solid play early, the Wings have struggled to find their footing. Dallas is currently 1-5 and last in the Western Conference. On Thursday, the team wasted 15 points from Bueckers on top of a 37-point outing from guard Arike Ogunbowale—losing 97–92 to the Chicago Sky.

The Wings are scheduled to meet the Sky in Texas on Saturday.
