Will WNBA superstars Paige Bueckers, Breanna Stewart play in Wings-Liberty?

The Dallas Wings face the New York Liberty on Monday night in the second game of a back-to-back series. The Liberty, the reigning WNBA champions, enter with a strong 17-7 record, while the Wings are coming off a 106-80 loss to the Las Vegas Aces, where they were short-handed due to injuries.

Paige Bueckers missed Sunday's game for rest and to manage patellar tendinitis, as the team navigates four games in six days. However, the Wings' Monday injury report confirms Bueckers is not listed and will play against the Liberty. Only Ty Harris (left knee) and Maddy Siegrist (right knee) are out, while Myisha Hines-Allen, who sat out Sunday with a lower leg injury, is available.

The Liberty will be without Breanna Stewart, a two-time MVP and seven-time All-Star, due to a leg injury sustained against the Los Angeles Sparks. An MRI showed no serious damage, and Stewart is expected to travel with the team, but her absence is a significant loss for New York.

This matchup marks the first meeting between the teams this season, with two more games scheduled for August 5th and 8th. The Wings hold a disappointing 7-19 record for the season, but Bueckers and other rookies represent a bright spot for future development.
