Currently on a five-game losing streak, the No. 12 Dallas Wings — and star rookie Paige Bueckers — are trusting the process, hunting an upset as they take on the No. 5 Indiana Fever on Tuesday night.

"I think we have a really good young core, we have great pieces to build around, good complementary pieces," Bueckers told reporters on Sunday. "We're all really excited that the front office has doubled down on who we have here right now. I think that's what we're gonna build around."

"We've talked about it enough," the 2025 No. 1 overall draftee continued. "We need to put action behind our words."

First-year Dallas head coach Chris Koclanes has taken much of the heat for the Wings' skid, exiting the court to fans chanting "We want Nola" — a plea for assistant coach Nola Henry to take over the team.

"Stepping into this leadership role, [I'm] being challenged to step outside of character at times and when to hold people accountable in different ways and when to discipline in different ways, so I'm learning," said Koclanes, whose role with the Wings is also his first-ever stint as a head coach — at any level of the game.

"You know we didn't start the season off well, we're not playing how we should be playing. But we need the fans to support us," Dallas forward Myisha Hines-Allen said, directly addressing upset fans after the Wings' Friday loss to the No. 2 New York Liberty.

"At the end of the day, Chris is still our head coach. We still need him."

How to watch the Dallas Wings vs. Indiana Fever on Tuesday

The No. 12 Wings head to Indiana to take on the No. 5 Fever at 7:30 PM ET on Tuesday, airing live on ESPN.

Myshia Hines-Allen and Sophie Cunningham exchanged words on the court Thursday, but the beef between the players has not ended there.

The duo got into it during the first quarter of the Phoenix Mercury’s 80-75 win over the Washington Mystics, with Washington’s Hines-Allen stepping over Phoenix’s Cunningham after the latter missed a 3-pointer. Cunningham responded by grabbing Hines-Allen’s leg.

The players had to be separated by teammates and each received a technical foul.

Following the game, though, Cunningham called the incident “nothing.”

“We’re feisty here,” Cunningham said postgame. “I thought I got fouled, she stepped over me, so why can’t I be a little feisty and sassy?”

Her Mercury teammate Diana Taurasi, who was involved in a controversial play of her own Thursday, said that she’s not concerned about the guard.

“In life there are certain people you don’t worry about,” Taurasi said. “I don’t worry about Sophie. If she was in a dark alley by herself, she’d be alright.”

Early Friday morning, Hines-Allen seemingly tweeted in response to Taurasi’s comment, writing, “Let’s go in an alley then…”

The altercation has sparked recollection of a similar incident during last season’s playoffs, in which Chicago’s Kahleah Copper famously “stepped over” Cunningham in the WNBA Finals. At the time, Cunningham asserted that Copper had “grabbed my neck” and said that people could “put me on all the T-shirts you want.”

Copper, who was named the 2021 WNBA Finals MVP, later responded by dropping the T-shirt on her website.
