NaLyssa Smith reminded fans and her brother of what she is capable of as the Dallas Wings posted a moment on their social media accounts showing Smith finishing an alley-oop from teammate Maddy Siegrist.
The Wings are back in session as the team began their second day of training camp Tuesday in preparation for their preseason opener against the Las Vegas Aces on Friday.
The Wings took a moment to post the practice highlight to which Smith's brother, Rodney Smith II, reacted with no words, but just a photo of Smith doing the same thing when she was in college at Baylor during a game against West Virginia.

The Dallas Wings highlighted both Smith and Siegrist in the caption of the post as they welcomed Siegrist back for her third season with the franchise and Smith's first season back in Texas.
"one more for that @20sMaddy to @NaLyssaSmith alley-oop," the Wings wrote on X.
Smith was involved in a four-team trade this offseason that brought a number of new faces to Dallas. The Wings acquired DiJonai Carrington and Tyasha Harris from Connecticut, the reserved rights of Mikiah Herbert Harrigan, and the 12th pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft from Phoenix who turned out to be Aziaha James.
They also received Smith from Indiana and swapped second-round picks with Connecticut in 2026, and third-round picks with Indiana in 2027.
Dallas traded Satou Sabally, Kalani Brown, and Sevgi Uzun to Phoenix as well as Jacy Sheldon to Connecticut, and Jaelyn Brown to Indiana.
