Dallas Wings Face Injury Challenges Ahead of Indiana Fever Game
Dallas, TX — The Dallas Wings are gearing up for a crucial matchup against the Indiana Fever on Friday, looking to capitalize on recent success, having won three of their last four games. However, the team is facing significant injury setbacks that could impact their performance.
Key player DiJonai Carrington, acquired from the Connecticut Sun, has been sidelined for the past two games due to a rib injury. As of Thursday, she was unable to practice and has been listed as doubtful for the upcoming game. Carrington’s contributions have been vital for the Wings this season; in 14 games, she has averaged 11.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.1 assists.
Additionally, the Wings will be without four other players due to various reasons: Luisa Geiselsoder and Teaira McCowan are out due to national team obligations, while Ty Harris is dealing with a left knee injury, and Maddy Siegrist is out with a right knee issue.
On the flip side, the Fever are also dealing with injury concerns, particularly regarding point guard Caitlin Clark. The former Iowa standout sustained a groin injury in a recent game against the Seattle Storm, ruling her out for Indiana’s matchup with the Los Angeles Sparks earlier this week and casting doubt on her availability against the Wings.
As they prepare to host the Fever, the Wings must rally around Paige Bueckers and adapt to the lineup changes, aiming for their second winning streak of the season. Following the matchup against Indiana, the Wings will face the Washington Mystics on Saturday at 8 p.m.
Stay tuned for updates as both teams navigate these challenges on the court.
