2026 WNBA season review: The Dallas Wings had their most successful year in decades, and now they must sustain it

The Dallas Wings achieved their strongest finish in years during the 2026 campaign, reaching twenty-seven victories and securing their best record since relocating. Despite an opening-round postseason exit against the Golden State Valkyries, the franchise made significant strides behind a standout core.

Paige Bueckers drove much of that success, elevating her averages to 20.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 5.9 assists while making her second All-Star appearance and setting a new WNBA benchmark for points scored across a player's first two seasons with 1,515 total points, surpassing Seimone Augustus and Cynthia Cooper. Backcourt partners Azzi Fudd and Arike Ogunbowale also powered the squad, with Fudd averaging 13.1 points and shooting 39.7 percent from beyond the arc before a knee injury sidelined her after thirty games.

Ogunbowale contributed 15.3 points per contest, highlighted by a historic forty-five-point playoff performance in a Game 2 overtime victory.
