Paige Bueckers, Top Draft Pick, Now In WNBA Concussion Protocol
SHARE

Paige Bueckers, the rising star of the Dallas Wings in the WNBA, may have hit a roadblock in her career after a collision with Courtney Vandersloot of the Chicago Sky. The collision, which occurred during a heated point guard battle, raised concerns of a possible concussion for Bueckers, leading her to enter the league’s concussion protocol for at least two games.

The incident took place during a game where Bueckers showcased her skills with 15 points, five rebounds, eight assists, three steals, and three blocks. Despite her impressive performance, the Wings fell short to the Sky with a score of 97-92, leaving them with a record of one win and five losses for the season.

Bueckers’ rookie season has been nothing short of spectacular, setting records and making a name for herself in the league. She has been a standout player with per game averages of 14.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 6.7 assists, two steals, and one block. Her performance has positioned her as a frontrunner for the Rookie of the Year award, ranking high in various statistical categories among first-year players.

However, Bueckers’ journey hit a snag as she will be sidelined for at least two games due to the concussion protocol. The severity of her concussion will determine the length of her absence, with her expected return date set for the game against the Los Angeles Sparks on June 6, pending clearance from medical professionals.

Concussions are a common occurrence in sports, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe and lasting for varying durations. It is crucial for athletes to prioritize their health and not rush their return to play, as multiple concussions can have long-term consequences on brain health.

In the WNBA, concussions have been reported among players, with an average of 2.9 concussions per season. Players typically return after missing an average of 3.8 games and 17.9 days, emphasizing the importance of proper concussion management and recovery.

As Bueckers navigates through this setback in her career, she remains focused on her future in the league and strives to continue making a mark as a standout player. With her talent and determination, she is poised to overcome this challenge and emerge stronger than ever in the WNBA.
