She is back. Well, she is back at practice. Paige Bueckers, after having suffered a concussion when she banged heads with Courtney Vandersloot of the Sky a week ago, is back on the practice floor for the Wings, leaving fans hopeful that the No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA draft will be ready to go after missing two games.

Bueckers has been off to a solid start to her WNBA career, averaging 14.7 points in May, when she ranked fourth in the league with 6.7 assists per game. She also grabbed 4.5 rebounds and chipped in with 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks.
The Wings, who have a rebuilt roster coming off last year’s 9-31 debacle, as well as new coach Chris Koclanes attempting to install a new systerm, have had a rough go of things thus far. The team is just 1-7, in last place in the WNBA.
