The Dallas Wings and LA Sparks squared off in a regular-season game at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

It’s been a difficult season for the Dallas Wings, who hold the WNBA’s third-worst record at 9-26 and have dealt with a myriad of injuries.

WNBA fans hoping to see Angel Reese or Paige Bueckers in the playoffs will have to wait for at least one more season.

It is no secret that the Dallas Wings have endured a difficult season. The Wings are rebuilding. Despite the success of rookie Paige Bueckers, Dallas holds a lackluster 9-26 record as of this story's writing. However, there is far more to the story than simply underperformance.

The Los Angeles Sparks are fighting for a playoff spot down the stretch of the WNBA regular season, and they have a great opportunity to pick up a win on Wednes

ARLINGTON, Texas — Dallas Wings center Li Yueru will miss the rest of the season after spraining the ACL in her left knee against the Los Angeles Sparks last week. The team said Tuesday the 26-year-old from China is expected to make a full recovery.

Bueckers and the Wings (9-26) secured a big-time road win over the Indiana Fever last Tuesday, without All-Star guard Arike Ogunbowale. However, Dallas then suffered a one-point home loss to the Los Angeles Sparks on Friday -- followed by a 106-87 defeat to the Aces in Las Vegas.

The Dallas Wings announced late on Tuesday that four-time WNBA All-Star Arike Ogunbowale is suffering from tendinitis in her right knee, and she will be out for the next few weeks before she's re-evaluated.
