Injuries threatening to derail Dallas Wings’ season
Connecticut Sun forward DeWanna Bonner reaches a loose ball ahead of Dallas Wings forward Maddy Siegrist during the second half on June 15, 2024.The team has dropped eight straight games and plays six of its next seven on the road. Dallas has played all season without star forward Satou Sabally and most of it without Natasha Howard . Now the Wings are missing leading scorer Arike Ogunbowale, who is day to day with a sore Achilles tendon.
Ogunbowale is putting up the best numbers of her career, averaging 24.9 points, 5.4 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 2.9 steals. It hasn’t been enough for the Wings , who are one game ahead of last-place Washington in the standings. The star guard also made news last week when she appeared on a podcast and explained that she took herself out of consideration a few months earlier for the U.S. Olympic team because she could see how politics was factoring into the selection process.
“I pretty much had an idea that I wouldn’t be on it,” Ogunbowale said. “I just felt the vibes. When it comes to that stuff, it really doesn’t have much to do with your game.”AP WNBA poll New York was a unanimous No. 1 choice in this week’s AP WNBA power poll, followed, respectively, by Connecticut, Minnesota, Seattle and Phoenix. Two-time defending champion Las Vegas , which has already lost as many games as all of last season, was sixth. Atlanta was seventh, followed by Indiana, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington and Dallas.The rematch between Indiana’s Caitlin Clark and Chicago’s Angel Reese drew record viewership with an average of 2.
