WNBA Team Urged to Trade Star to Clear Path for Paige Bueckers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. On Sunday morning, the Dallas Wings sent guard DiJonai Carrington to the Minnesota Lynx in exchange for Diamond Miller, Karlie Samuelson and a 2027 second-round draft pick. To finalize the deal, Dallas also waived center Teaira McCowan.

With those back-to-back monthly honors, Bueckers is positioning herself as the favorite for WNBA Rookie of the Year. She continues to dominate the league's first-year players in minutes (34.4) and field goals made (6.8) while ranking first among her peers in assists per game (5.5).
