Azzi Fudd - Out for remainder of 2026 season Fudd will undergo an arthroscopic procedure to address her right knee soreness and will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2026 season.

Impact Fudd has been sidelined since early August due to her ongoing right knee soreness, and she'll undergo a procedure that will ultimately end her rookie season. Across 30 regular-season appearances (24 starts) this year, she averaged 13.1 points, 1.8 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 31.7 minutes per game. In her absence, Odyssey Sims, Alanna Smith and Alysha Clark have seen increased roles, and that trend will likely continue down the stretch as the Wings compete for a playoff berth.

Alanna Smith - Fares well in loss Smith posted 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Monday's 78-70 loss to the Valkyries.

Arike Ogunbowale - Posts 17 points in road loss Ogunbowale totaled 17 points (5-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 37 minutes in Monday's 78-70 loss against Golden State.

Impact Ogunbowale played the most minutes of any Wings player. While she struggled with her shot, she was able to draw contact and get to the line, helping to rack up a healthy amount of points. She has hit 43.8 percent or worse in three straight games, and five of the past six outings. She is also just 5.8% (1-17 3Pt) from behind the arc in the past three games, too. Still, she is averaging 19.3 points per game in the span, and even when her shot is not falling, Ogunbowale still finds a way to be very productive.

Jessica Shepard - Racks up 26 minutes in return Shepard posted four points (1-4 FG, 2-4 FT) with seven rebounds, two assists and one steal across 26 minutes in Monday's 78-70 loss against Golden State.

Impact Shepard returned to the lineup after missing the past two games due to an ankle injury. While she wasn't terribly productive, the good news is that she played a healthy amount of minutes and she did not have any setbacks from the injury. While she has struggled a bit in the past couple of weeks, as long as she is active she is worth using in most fantasy leagues and in DFS play.

Alysha Clark - Limited to three points in start Clark supplied three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) with four rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes in Monday's 78-70 loss against the Valkyries.

Impact Clark was making her first start of the 2026 season, and the veteran didn't take advantage of the situation. She turned it over three times, too, which was the second-highest amount of miscues for Dallas behind seven turnovers for Paige Bueckers. While the performance wasn't huge, the good news is that she appears to be fine after being forced to the shelf for three games due to a back injury last week.

Paige Bueckers - Drops 21 points in loss Bueckers contributed 21 points (8-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three assists, two rebounds and one steal across 33 minutes in Monday's 78-70 loss to the Valkyries.

Impact Bueckers shot just 1-for-7 from the field in the first half but turned things around in the second, during which she racked up 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting. The star guard has reached the 20-point mark in four consecutive contests, averaging 23.8 points, 6.3 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game over that stretch. However, she's struggled from three-point range recently, shooting just 26.3 percent from downtown in that four-game span.

Alysha Clark - Starting versus Golden State Clark will start in Monday's game versus the Valkyries.
