Wings add guard depth with signing before Aces clash

The Dallas Wings signed guard Grace Berger to a seven-day hardship contract on Wednesday to address roster shortages caused by knee injuries to Tyasha Harris and Maddy Siegrist. This move provides critical depth ahead of their Wednesday night matchup against the Las Vegas Aces.

DiJonai Carrington remains questionable for the game due to a rib injury that has sidelined her extensively. With Wednesday marking Dallas' final game before the WNBA All-Star break, the team may exercise caution regarding Carrington's participation. Her potential absence increases the significance of Berger's signing for backcourt support.

Berger, a 6'0" guard drafted seventh overall in 2023 by Indiana, played two seasons with the Fever before brief stints with Minnesota (released after 2025 preseason) and Los Angeles (one-game hardship contract). Across 48 career WNBA games averaging 13.4 minutes, she holds career averages of 3.8 points, 1.6 assists, and 1.5 rebounds while seeking more consistent playing time to establish herself.

This signing occurs as the injury-challenged Wings aim to conclude the first half of their 2025 season positively against the Aces, with tip-off scheduled for 8 PM EST in Arlington.
