Updated June 17, 2025
The dallas Wings’ already dismal 2025 WNBA season took another hit with news that Maddy Siegrist is out indefinitely. The third-year player sustained a fracture in her right knee, the team announced Monday. Siegrist,drafted No. 3 overall in 2023, suffered an anterolateral tibial plateau fracture.
The injury to Siegrist, a key player for the Wings, further complicates matters for a team mired at the bottom of the WNBA standings with a 1-11 record. The team has already faced roster challenges, including players leaving for Eurobasket and the waiving of Kaila Charles. Guard Ty Harris was also recently ruled out for the season.
While Siegrist will not require surgery, her return timeline remains uncertain. Online estimates suggest a 6-8 week recovery period, potentially allowing her to return near the end of the regular season. However, her comeback hinges on accomplished recovery and conditioning.
The Wings’ woes extend beyond player availability. The team’s No. 1 overall draft pick,Paige Bueckers,has not translated into on-court success,and head coach Chris Koclanes is under scrutiny. Videos circulating online show Koclanes in apparent disagreements with players, fueling speculation about locker room cohesion.
Not sure what this discussion/conversation was exactly about towards the end of the game but DiJonai Carrington did not appear to be happy with what Chris Koclanes said! Again, I’m just assuming but that stare down was deadly from DiJonai…I LOVE it haha pic.twitter.com/sS8P1W1ObU
