ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers is no longer listed in the team’s injury report, apparently clearing the way for her return from a four-game absence, first with a concussion and then an illness.
Bueckers is set to play at the Phoenix Mercury on Wednesday night, a day after going through a full practice.
The No. 1 pick in this year’s draft missed three games in the WNBA’s concussion protocol before sitting out an 81-65 home loss to the undefeated Minnesota Lynx with an unspecified illness. Bueckers last played in a 97-92 loss to the Chicago Sky on May 29.
Bueckers is averaging 14.7 points and 6.7 assists in six games for the Wings, who have the league’s worst record at 1-9.
