ARLINGTON, Texas (Aug. 24, 2025) – The Dallas Wings will look to regroup from a difficult loss when they host the Golden State Valkyries on Sunday afternoon at College Park Center. Tipoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. CT, with local broadcast coverage on KFAA29 and streaming options available through WNBA League Pass. Ron Thulin and Fran Harris will handle play-by-play and analysis, while Tiffany Bias-Patmon provides sideline updates.

Sunday’s matchup will also serve as the Wings’ annual Celebración Latina Night presented by BetterHelp, a community-driven event that celebrates Latino culture through music, food, and fan engagement. Pregame festivities on the plaza will feature local food vendors, a DJ, and a family fun zone, while the first 2,000 fans entering the arena will receive a commemorative t-shirt.

Both Teams Seeking Momentum

Dallas enters the contest at 9-28, hoping to bounce back from a 95-60 defeat to the Seattle Storm on Friday. The loss extended the Wings’ season-long struggles on the offensive end, but there were still individual highlights. Maddy Siegrist paced Dallas with 12 points and five rebounds, while rookie sensation Paige Bueckers recorded her 30th consecutive double-digit scoring game with 11 points. Bueckers’ consistency continues to make headlines, as she recently cracked the WNBA’s Top 10 all-time rookie scoring list.

Golden State, meanwhile, arrives in Arlington at 18-18 and carrying its own frustrations. The expansion franchise has dropped three straight games, most recently falling 81-72 to the Phoenix Mercury on Friday night. Despite the skid, the Valkyries remain in the thick of the Western Conference playoff hunt and will look to rely on their balanced roster to avoid extending their losing streak to four.

Season Series and Recent History

Sunday’s game is the third meeting of the season between Dallas and Golden State. The two clubs have split the series to date, with each defending their home floor. The Wings opened the series with an 80-71 victory in Arlington on June 17, while the Valkyries responded with an 86-76 win in San Jose on July 25.

The series finale will be played September 4 on the West Coast. With both teams having claimed one win, Sunday’s contest offers the chance for Dallas to regain control of the season set while giving Golden State an opportunity to clinch at least a split.

Players to Watch

For Dallas, Siegrist remains a focal point offensively, particularly with veteran star Arike Ogunbowale sidelined with a right knee injury. Siegrist has proven capable of producing under pressure and will need another strong outing for the Wings to keep pace. Bueckers’ ability to dictate tempo and create scoring opportunities has also been a steadying factor, while Haley Jones has emerged as a rebounding presence after hauling in a career-high 10 boards against Seattle.

Golden State leans on a deep rotation that has provided offensive versatility throughout the year. Though the Valkyries have struggled during their current losing streak, they have demonstrated the ability to string together explosive stretches, particularly from their guard play and bench contributions.

Key Storylines

The game will be decided by whether Dallas can generate consistent scoring against a Valkyries team that, despite recent losses, remains one of the league’s better defensive units. The Wings have endured offensive droughts all season, and with several key players out due to injury, the margin for error is slim. Golden State’s challenge lies in re-establishing rhythm on the road, where the team has been inconsistent.

Dallas’ rebounding edge could play a factor, as the Wings outrebounded Seattle 36-30 in their last game despite the blowout loss. Turning those extra possessions into points will be critical.

Game Status Report

• Arike Ogunbowale – Out (Right Knee)

• Ty Harris – Out (Left Knee)

• Aziaha James – Probable (Right Ankle)

• JJ Quinerly – Out (Left Knee)

• Li Yueru – Out (Left Knee)

Looking Ahead

The Wings will look to use the energy of their home crowd and the atmosphere of Celebración Latina Night to fuel a much-needed victory. A win would not only provide momentum but also secure a season-series advantage over Golden State heading into the final weeks of the regular season.

Tipoff is set for 3 p.m. CT on Sunday. Fans unable to attend can catch the action live on KFAA29 in Dallas-Fort Worth or via WNBA League Pass nationally.
