With those back-to-back monthly honors, Bueckers is positioning herself as the favorite for WNBA Rookie of the Year. She continues to dominate the league's first-year players in minutes (34.4) and field goals made (6.8) while ranking first among her peers in assists per game (5.5).

WNBA Team Urged to Trade Star to Clear Path for Paige Bueckers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. On Sunday morning, the Dallas Wings sent guard DiJonai Carrington to the Minnesota Lynx in exchange for Diamond Miller, Karlie Samuelson and a 2027 second-round draft pick. To finalize the deal, Dallas also waived center Teaira McCowan.

The WNBA announced Monday that the Dallas Wings rookie earned Rookie of the Month honors for July. Bueckers, the No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA draft, also earned the accolade for June. She is the fourth newcomer in franchise history to secure Rookie of the Month honors twice and is the only rookie in the league to repeat this season.
