The Dallas Wings have experienced difficulties this season and drag at the bottom of the WNBA ranking with a record of 1-11. They have already lost two players against Eurobasket (Luisa Geiselsöder and Teira McCowan) and also gave up Kaila Charles. It was also only last week that goalkeeper Ty Harris was excluded for the rest of the season. Although they added another player by exchanging Li Yueru, they have now lost another player.
The Wings announced on Monday that the third year player Maddy Siegrist, that the Wings drafted n ° 3 in total in 2023, had undergone an anterolateral fracture of the tibial plateau on the right knee. It is a fracture at the top of your tibia (leg bone), where it meets at the joint of your knee. It can also damage cartilage in the joint as well as the meniscus.
Siegrist will not require surgery to repair the injury, although it will recover for an indefinite time. Online experts believe that it will come out of 6 to 8 weeks, which could potentially see it come back at the end of the regular season, but depending on how recovery and packaging take place, it may not come back before the wings finished their campaign in 2025.
This is only the last setback for the Wings this year. The joy of obtaining the choice of global recovery n ° 1 and to select Paige Bueckers was quickly overshadowed by a lack of cohesion on the field and problems of injury, even before they announced Harris with an injury to the rest of the season. Add losers for Eurobasket, and it was difficult for Dallas.
To make matters worse, head coach Chris Koclanes (who is in his first chief coach concert) seems to have trouble maintaining the little understanding of his locker room which he won in the training camp. There are many online videos of him disagreeing with the players during the matches, and the speculation that this could be a great reason for the difficulties of the team is constant.
I do not know what this discussion / conversation was exactly towards the end of the game, but Dijonai Carrington did not seem satisfied with what Chris Koclanes said! Again, I just guess but that look was deadly from Dijonai … I love him haha pic.twitter.com/ss8p1w1obu

It looks like this Wings team is already a time bomb, and bringing out one of your longest titular players during most of the season will certainly not help. Even at just 12 games in a season of 44 games, it seems that there is little hope for Dallas to reverse the steam. At the very least, they are not in a situation of the Chicago type where they do not have their choice, but they probably did not expect 1-11 either.
They can have the space now to sign another difficulty contract to replace Siegrist while it recovers, but it can be too late to find anyone who can have a serious impact on this disastrous situation.
