What happened: The Dallas Wings announced Wednesday that rookie Azzi Fudd will undergo an arthroscopic procedure to address ongoing right knee soreness. She will miss the remainder of the regular season.

Why it matters: The procedure sidelines the top overall pick as the team completes its regular-season schedule. Her absence removes a primary perimeter scoring option from the Dallas rotation.

By the numbers: Fudd averaged 13.1 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 1.8 assists over 30 appearances prior to the injury.

What to watch: The Wings will adjust their backcourt rotation for the remaining regular-season games.
