Paige Bueckers has been just about everything the Dallas Wings hoped as the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA draft.

Dallas listed her as being out with a right knee injury for their game against the Mystics later that night. One of the few concerns about Bueckers coming into the WNBA was her injury history, as she had two major knee injuries while at UConn, suffering a tibial plateau fracture and torn meniscus in 2021 and then tore her ACL in 2022.

In Dallas, Paige Bueckers is assuming a huge share of the offensive burden. That was to be expected; she was the first overall pick in the 2025 draft for a reason. But how much of the load Bueckers has taken on already might represent cause for concern.
