The Dallas Wings have the fourth-best record in the league, setting them up for a potential playoff spot. At 14-8, this is the best start in team history after 22 games.

Team Success and Community Involvement

In addition to the team’s success, the Wings have two starters in the WNBA All-Star Game: Paige Bueckers and Jessica Shepard. Paige received the most votes of any player (1,045,051). Dallas Wings CEO Greg Bibb said, “We had the good fortune to draft Paige Bueckers number one overall last year and then Azzi Fudd number one overall this year. We had a big free agent signing with Jessica Shepard in the offseason. She’s been fantastic. She’s one of our two all-star starters along with Paige. So it’s been a great summer thus far.”

The team is also involved in their community through a unique mentorship program. Bibb explained, “We have a program where once a year we allow the players to identify someone from their life who has played an integral part in their rise to becoming a professional basketball player. This year we had an individual coming from Italy; we had another one from Australia. We bring them on the road with us for a game. They attend practice, they attend meetings, we’ve a formal dinner, they come to the game. During that dinner, we asked the player to stand up and talk about their mentor and how they’ve impacted their life…”

Move to Downtown Dallas

The Wings are close to finalizing an agreement to play all of their 2027 home games at American Airlines Center. The team has an agreement with the City of Dallas to begin play in a renovated Dallas Memorial Auditorium beginning in 2028. Bibb said the new practice facility in West Dallas will be ready by 2027 training camp in April.
