The Dallas Wings have garnered significant recognition in the WNBA's 2026 general manager survey, with star guard Paige Bueckers being highlighted as the first player GMs would choose to start a new team. Bueckers, who was the 2025 Rookie of the Year and the No. 1 overall pick, averaged 19.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 5.4 assists in her debut season. The Wings, who improved from a disappointing 10-34 last year, were also recognized as the most improved team and the most fun to watch in the league. With a strong preseason performance, going 2-0, they are set to kick off their regular season against the Indiana Fever. The team has bolstered its roster by re-signing All-Star guard Arike Ogunbowale and adding former Minnesota Lynx players, including Alanna Smith, the reigning co-defensive player of the year. Additionally, the Wings selected UConn star Azzi Fudd in the 2026 draft and welcomed new head coach Jose Fernandez. The Wings have sold out season tickets for a third consecutive year and rank second in the league for nationally televised games with 36 broadcasts.
