ARLINGTON — On the same day that point guard Paige Bueckers was named WNBA Rookie of the Month for June, it was only fitting that all of the Dallas Wings rookies showed out in the 98-89 win against the Phoenix Mercury.

Phoenix suffered its second loss in a row after its 84-81 defeat against the Las Vegas Aces. The Mercury will return to action on Monday as they host the Wings for their second consecutive game. It will be the third time they'll face each other this season.

Paige Bueckers is back and continuing to excel. The 2025 No. 1 pick made her return to the Dallas Wings lineup Thursday and helped guide her team to a 98-87 victory over the Phoenix Mercury.
