The Dallas Wings will enter their upcoming contest against the expansion Golden State Valkyries without several important contributors, as confirmed in a recent injury update released by the team Thursday.

As the 7-17 Wings try to salvage their season, their depleted roster faces a stiff challenge against the 10-12 Golden State Valkyries who look to bounce back after a three-game losing streak.

Myisha Hines-Allen, Ty Harris, and Maddy Siegrest have all been ruled out for Friday’s road matchup against the Golden State Valkyries at Chase Center in San Francisco.  

Hines-Allen is the latest Dallas player to be injured in a disappointing first half of the season for the franchise. She sustained a right lower leg injury and will miss her third straight game.

Harris was ruled out for the remainder of the season in June after undergoing surgery to treat a left-knee injury. Once the Wings' backup point guard and a reliable perimeter shooter, Harris averaged 4.6 points and 2.6 assists in limited action this season.

Despite a rash of injuries, guard Dijonai Carrington will finally be available for action after missing extended time with a rib injury. The 2024 WNBA Most Improved Player and All-WNBA defender will be a sign of hope for the franchise to add to the stellar play of rookie sensation Paige Bueckers.

Forward Maddy Siegrist, the Wings’ third-overall pick in 2023, has been sidelined since June with a leg fracture. 

The Wings extended Grace Berger’s hardship contract early Thursday to add depth to the roster.
