Bueckers bested her numbers almost across the board from her WNBA debut in a game that also featured No. 2 pick Dominique Malonga.

Despite the loss, all eyes were on Paige Bueckers in the second game of her career. The No. 1 overall pick of the 2025 WNBA draft played well and finished with 19 points, eight assists and six rebounds on 7-of-14 shooting from the field.

Arike Ogunbowale has been one of the WNBA's better players and scoring threats over the last several years. She was named to the All-Star team in each of the last four seasons, and although her Dallas Wings have struggled during that time, she has kept them from dropping completely out of sight.
