Arlington, TX (May 30, 2025) – The Dallas Wings will get a second attempt at the Chicago Sky just two days after their first meeting as the Wings and Sky square off on Saturday night in Arlington, Texas. Tipoff at College Park Center is slated for 7 p.m. CT, with the game airing locally in the Dallas-Fort Worth area on KFAA29. Ron Thulin, Fran Harris and Tiffany Bias-Patmon will have the call.
The Wings (1-5) and Sky (1-4) met last night in the Windy City with the home team scoring a 97-92 victory for their first win of the year. Arike Ogunbowale led the Wings with 37 points, matching the single-game high in the WNBA this season. Kamilla Cardoso led Chicago with 23 points and eight boards.
Dallas will be without rookie standout Paige Bueckers, as the team announced earlier today she is in concussion protocol and will miss at least the next two games. Bueckers ranks No. 2 among all rookies in scoring (14.7) and steals (2.0), while leading all newcomers in assists (6.7). She had 15 points, five rebounds, eight assists and a career-high three blocks last night in Chicago.
Saturday’s game marks the Wings’ first home game since May 19, as they just concluded a four-game road swing with consecutive games at Minnesota, Atlanta, Connecticut and Chicago.
