Arlington, TX (June 28, 2025) — The Dallas Wings return to College Park Center on Saturday night for the second leg of a tough back-to-back stretch, hosting the Washington Mystics in what promises to be another closely contested battle. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. CT, with the game airing locally on KFAA29 and available out-of-market via WNBA League Pass.
Dallas (4-13) is coming off a 94-86 loss to the Indiana Fever on Friday night, played in front of a record-breaking crowd of 20,409 fans at American Airlines Center — the largest regular-season attendance in franchise and Texas WNBA history. Despite the loss, rookie guard Paige Bueckers dazzled with a historic 27-point performance, becoming the first player in league history to record a game with 25+ points, 5+ assists, 2+ steals, 2+ blocks, and zero turnovers.
Now, the Wings turn their attention to a Washington Mystics (8-8) team that edged them out 91-88 in overtime just six days ago in the nation’s capital. In that contest, Dallas stormed back from a 16-point first-quarter deficit to lead at halftime, but couldn’t outlast the Mystics in the extra frame. Arike Ogunbowale and Sonia Citron went head-to-head in a scoring duel, each finishing with 27 points.
Saturday’s game will mark the second of three meetings between the two teams this season, with Washington currently holding a 1-0 advantage in the 2025 series and a 43-40 lead all-time.
Key Storylines to Watch:
- Bueckers’ Impact: After another standout performance on Friday, Bueckers continues to solidify herself as a rising star in the league. Can she deliver again on short rest?
- Paint Presence: Center Li Yueru has emerged as a rebounding force, recording a career-best 15 boards earlier in the week. Her interior play will be critical against a physical Mystics frontcourt.
- Mystics’ Momentum: Washington has won five of its last seven and will look to build on the confidence from last week’s OT thriller.
How to Watch:
- TV: KFAA29 (Dallas-Fort Worth)

Dallas looks to snap a two-game skid and even the season series with the Mystics before the teams meet again on August 10 in Arlington.
