DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, JUL 07 – Kyrie Irving attended the WNBA game with his daughter to support rookie Paige Bueckers, who averaged 18.7 points this season, at a high-attendance event of over 20,000 fans.
- The Dallas Wings announced on Monday that their August 1 game versus Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever will be held at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.

- Bueckers, the top pick in the 2025 draft and the sole rookie chosen as a starter for last week’s WNBA All-Star game, is currently averaging 18.7 points and 5.7 assists this season, while Clark has posted averages of 18.2 points and 8.9 assists through nine games.
- The venue change signals growing star power for both rookies and the Wings’ efforts to draw larger crowds at the downtown arena, continuing after a recent attendance of 20,409 fans at the same facility.
