The Dallas Wings had quite the scare during Tuesday's loss to the New York Liberty when rookie star Paige Bueckers left the game with a back injury, but it appears she avoided a significant setback.

Under the surface of her brilliance, the Wings made a much-talked-about move last Sunday, trading defensive standout DiJonai Carrington to the Minnesota Lynx. Yet, as the trade deadline looms on Thursday at 3 pm ET, Dallas has yet to make a top-of-the-key addition to its roster.

The WNBA announced Monday that the Dallas Wings rookie earned Rookie of the Month honors for July. Bueckers, the No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA draft, also earned the accolade for June. She is the fourth newcomer in franchise history to secure Rookie of the Month honors twice and is the only rookie in the league to repeat this season.
