What happened: Paige Bueckers will miss Monday's home game against New York to manage physical soreness. The Dallas Wings guard was evaluated for a head injury following her previous appearance but was cleared from the WNBA concussion protocol.

Why it matters: Her absence removes a focal point from the Dallas rotation as the team attempts to maintain its current momentum. The Wings lean heavily on Bueckers, who recently joined the franchise's all-around leaders.

By the numbers: Dallas enters the matchup at 17-8 and won the two previous meetings this season against 15-12 New York by double digits. The Liberty are listed as for the contest.

What to watch: The Wings will evaluate Bueckers' status ahead of their next game.
