Wings Travel to Face Valkyries in Commissioner's Cup Matchup; Sims Ruled Out, Bueckers Cleared

The Dallas Wings will travel to Golden State to face the Valkyries in a WNBA Commissioner's Cup Western Conference matchup on Wednesday night at Chase Center. Both teams enter the game with identical 9-5 records and momentum on their side. The Wings defeated the Las Vegas Aces at home on Monday, with Arike Ogunbowale recording 22 points, four rebounds and seven assists, while Jessica Shepard contributed 15 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists. The Valkyries extended their winning streak to three games with a home victory over the Los Angeles Sparks, led by Gabby Williams' 16 points and four rebounds, plus Kaila Charles' 13 points, eight rebounds and five assists off the bench.

The Wings will be without guard Odyssey Sims, who has been ruled out due to a left ankle injury and will miss her fifth consecutive game. However, positive news came for Dallas as Paige Bueckers has been cleared and removed from the injury report entirely after returning from a one-game ankle injury absence in Monday's victory over the Aces.

The Valkyries' injury report includes only Iliana Rupert, who has been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to pregnancy. The matchup is scheduled to tip off at 10:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday from the Chase Center.
