Wings Move Another Potential Clark-Bueckers Matchup to the Home of the Mavericks
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 against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever will move to the American Airlines Center in Dallas.
- The move follows the Wings' pattern of hosting high-profile games at the larger American Airlines Center, including the June 27 matchup they lost 94-86 to the Fever without Clark.
- Clark, the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year, has missed the Fever's past five games due to a groin injury but might return for the August 1 contest, which could feature top rookies Clark and Wings guard Paige Bueckers.
- The June 27 game at the American Airlines Center drew a sellout crowd of 20,409 fans, marking the eighth regular-season WNBA game to exceed 20,000 attendees and illustrating strong interest in marquee matchups.
- This venue change allows more fans to see the highly anticipated Clark-Bueckers showdown, highlighting the Wings' strategy to maximize attendance and exposure for key games amid Clark's injury-related absences.
