The Washington Mystics’ rookies have stood out in the early days — while Paige Bueckers has shown flashes of brilliance in her first games in the WNBA.

Entering 2025, many analysts pegged the Dallas Wings roster as a dark-horse playoff team, led by the backcourt pairing of No. 1 draft pick Paige Bueckers and four-time WNBA All-Star Arike Ogunbowale.

Paige Bueckers had a night to remember during Wednesday's Wings-Lynx game in Minnesota, one that got even more special after the Dallas Wings rookie made some cool history in the process. Dallas dropped their third straight game in the 85–81 loss to the Lynx and are still looking for their first win of the season.
