Game Preview

The Connecticut Sun and Dallas Wings head into the second half of the WNBA season with differing objectives as they face off on Friday in Arlington, Texas, following a monthlong hiatus.

Connecticut is focused on championship aspirations, while Dallas aims to climb out of the league’s bottom tier. Both teams are eager for a boost from new additions. The Sun acquired guard Marina Mabrey from Chicago just before the break, while the Wings are welcoming back forward Satou Sabally, who missed the first half of the season due to a shoulder injury.

With 16 games remaining, Connecticut (18-6) is positioned well, despite slipping in their last three games before the break, including a loss to New York. The Sun are second in the standings, trailing the Liberty by 2.5 games. DeWanna Bonner leads the team with an average of 16.7 points per game, while Alyssa Thomas excels in rebounds, assists, and steals. Mabrey, who averaged 14 points per game with Chicago, is expected to enhance their title bid.

Dallas (6-19), tied for last place with Washington, hopes Sabally’s return can push them into playoff contention. The Wings, currently 4.5 games shy of the postseason, have seen recent improvements, including a surprise win over Indiana before the break. Star guard Arike Ogunbowale and center Teaira McCowan continue to be key players, with Ogunbowale leading in both scoring and assists.

Connecticut has won both encounters with Dallas this season, securing victories on May 31 and June 15.
