WNBA No. 1 overall pick placed in concussion protocol

Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers is expected to miss at least the next two games after being placed in concussion protocol, the team said Friday.

She suffered a concussion during a 97-92 loss to the Chicago Sky on Thursday.

Bueckers was making a move with the basketball when she appeared to bump heads with Courtney Vandersloot of the Sky during the final minute of the second quarter.

Bueckers, the WNBA No. 1 overall pick, has averaged 14.7 points, 6.7 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game during the first six games of her rookie season.

Tyasha Harris could start in place of Bueckers. Harris was listed as questionable with a knee injury for Saturday’s game after not playing in Thursday’s game.

When do the Dallas Wings play next?

The Wings will host the Sky on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET on KFAA (Dallas) and WCIU (Chicago). The game will also be streamed on WNBA League Pass.

Dallas’ road game against the Seattle Storm will be played on Tuesday, June 3 at 9:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
