Throughout the course of her rookie season thus far in Dallas, Bueckers has played in 20 games. She has averaged 18.1 points per game to go along with 5.6 assists, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.8 steals. In addition, she has shot 45 percent from the floor and 32.9 percent from three-point range.

After a sluggish first half, the Valkyries strung together enough stops when they needed to as they beat the visiting Wings 86-76 in front of their 12th consecutive sellout crowd of 18,064. Golden State captured its first win without Kayla Thornton in the starting lineup.

The Valkyries have announced that the 32-year-old is undergoing an evaluation for a lower leg injury, so she will not be available to face the Wings -- one of her former teams -- when Dallas visits Chase Center for a 9 p.
