Paige Bueckers cleared of concussion as Dallas Wings gear up for Portland Fire

Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers suffered a head collision with Los Angeles Sparks forward Nneka Ogwumike on July 19, prompting her to miss the subsequent game against the New York Liberty, which the Wings lost in overtime. The team later announced that Bueckers had been cleared of a concussion and was not placed in the league’s concussion protocol, putting her return in doubt for the July 22 matchup with the Portland Fire.

The Wings, holding a 17‑9 record, will face Portland at the Moda Center on Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET. The game will air on USA Network and can be streamed via DIRECTV (free trial) or Sling Blue. The outcome will be critical for Dallas, which is 0‑2 without Bueckers and hopes her presence will boost its playoff push.
