Paige Bueckers will shift the spotlight to Brooklyn as the Liberty host the Wings rookie, who has made her mark in the WNBA. Bueckers averaged 18.2 points, 5.2 assists, and 3.2 rebounds, earning Rookie of the Month for July. Despite her impressive performance, including a win against the Liberty where she scored 20 points, the Wings are outside of playoff contention at 8-21. Bueckers' campaign is highlighted by rapid records, including becoming the fastest player to reach 400 points and 100 assists in just 22 games.
Bueckers collected 20 points, six rebounds and four assists during the win, and now the shorthanded Liberty will be tasked with trying to contain her again in front of a crowd likely featuring plenty of No. 5 jerseys.
Bueckers was named the WNBA's Rookie of the Month for July - the second consecutive month she earned the honor - on Monday after averaging 18.2 points, 5.2 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game.
Their win against the Liberty served as the signature victory of her era in Dallas so far.
It was unexpected, even with the Liberty down Breanna Stewart, Kennedy Burke and Nyara Sabally.
