Paige Bueckers becomes Wings' all-time rookie scoring leader

It is no secret that Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers has enjoyed a tremendous first year in the WNBA. Bueckers is unquestionably the Rookie of the Year front-runner. The former UConn women's basketball star accomplished another impressive feat on Thursday night during the Wings' game against the Golden State Valkyries.

Bueckers entered Thursday's contest with 623 points scored in the 2025 WNBA season, trailing her current teammate — Arike Ogunbowale — by only seven points for the franchise's rookie all-time scoring record. Paige surpassed Arike's mark of 630 points during the game, becoming the Wings' all-time rookie scoring leader.

Ogunbowale and Bueckers are both two of the Wings' best rookies of all-time. Dallas has featured historic rookie performances over the years to say the least.

Bueckers entered the game on Thursday night sitting in sixth place in all-time points scored for rookies in WNBA history, trailing Ogunbowale's mark of 630 and Cappie Pondexter's mark of 624. Now, she is fourth all-time behind A'ja Wilson (682), Seimone Augustus (744) and Caitlin Clark (769).
