What happened: Dallas Wings CEO Greg Bibb told ESPN that construction has begun on the team's new practice facility in West Oak Cliff. The start follows what Bibb described as a host of delays and complications that had held up the project. Work got underway earlier this month.
Why it matters: A dedicated practice facility marks a significant infrastructure investment for the franchise and signals the organization's commitment to building around its recent additions, including No. 1 overall pick Azzi Fudd. Purpose-built training space has become a competitive benchmark across the WNBA as franchises invest in player development and retention.
What to watch: Watch for an official completion timeline and projected opening date, which Bibb's interview began to address before more details emerge on cost and design.
