Rookie Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings came into Wednesday night looking for their first win of the 2025 WNBA season. Despite a double-double from the top overall pick, however, a victory wasn't in the cards against the Minnesota Lynx.

Paige Bueckers' first three games as a WNBA rookie are in the books, and although she hasn't played well, her potential is obvious. She was the No. 1 pick in last month's draft after leading the UConn Huskies to the women's NCAA championship, and she has a chance to become the next superstar to enter the pros.

Paige Bueckers impressed in front of her hometown crowd, but the Minnesota Lynx spoiled her first WNBA game back at the all-familiar Target Center in Minneapolis as the Lynx held on to beat Bueckers' Dallas Wings 85-81 in a nail-biter Wednesday night.
