- Azzi Fudd will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on her right knee and miss the remainder of the WNBA season, the Dallas Wings announced
- Dallas Wings revealed the surgery will take place in Connecticut early next week, cutting short the rookie guard's debut campaign
- Azzi Fudd averaged 13.1 points and led all rookies in 3-pointers made this season, also ranking fifth in the league with 1.7 steals per game
- Azzi Fudd became the first rookie in WNBA history to win the 3-point contest in July, highlighting her immediate impact before the injury
- Dallas Wings have gone 2-7 since the All-Star break and currently sit eighth in the standings, clinging to the final playoff spot
Why it matters: Fudd’s season-ending injury removes a top performer in scoring, steals, and 3-point shooting from a playoff-contending team that has already lost momentum, increasing pressure on the Wings’ depth during a tight postseason race with six teams vying for one spot.
