WINGS WIN THE WNBA LOTTERY
By The Associated Press
The Dallas Wings won the WNBA draft lottery Sunday and the chance to draft UConn star Paige Bueckers with the No. 1 pick. The Wings had a 22.7% chance to win the lottery. The Los Angeles Sparks, who had the top chance at 44% to get the top choice, will pick second. The Chicago Sky will pick third.
There was no way they could get the No. 1 pick because of a trade with Dallas in 2023 that allowed the Wings to swap picks with the Sky. Washington, which last won the lottery in 1999, will pick fourth. The Mystics, who need to hire a coach and GM still, had just under an 11% chance of getting the No. 1 pick.
