DALLAS - Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers is the WNBA Rookie of the Month for June. Last month, Bueckers averaged nearly 22 points per game, with an average of five assists and more than four rebounds per game.

Bueckers has scored double digits in every game she has played in. She also joined with Aziaha James (28 points, 6 assists) to be the first rookie due to ever go 20-5 together in the same WNBA game.

With the team missing several notable veterans due to injury including Arike Ogunbowale, Maddy Siegrist, and DiJonai Carrington, Wings head coach Chris Koclanes was forced to pivot to a starting lineup that included four rookies for Thursday’s game against the Phoenix Mercury.
