The Dallas Wings have lost eight straight games and now hold the league’s best odds for the No. 1 pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, Dallas’ 2025 season has been marked by injuries and losses, leaving the team at 9-32 and at the bottom of the standings.
The record has mathematically eliminated the Wings from playoff contention with three games left, shifting focus to a potentially active offseason.
Dallas has averaged 81.5 points per game, ranking ninth in the league, with the WNBA’s third-worst point differential at -6.8.
The Wings trail the Chicago Sky by one game for the second-worst record and the Connecticut Sun by 1.5 games.
Although teams never strive to finish with the worst record in the league, these losses could provide a major advantage to the Wings in their hunt for the top overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft.
Finishing last gives Dallas a 40% chance at the top overall pick and guarantees a top-three selection, according to league rules. The second-worst record carries a 25% chance at the top pick, with the risk of falling outside the top three.
A top pick could boost the franchise, with the 2026 draft class already generating buzz for its talent.
Potential top prospects include Awa Fam, Lauren Betts, Azzi Fudd, and Olivia Miles — all viewed as immediate contributors at the next level.
Dallas closes the season with three games remaining before its draft lottery odds are finalized.
