Paige Bueckers and Arike Ogunbowale have teamed up for the first time as teammates ahead of the WNBA season to give fans a glimpse into the bond and chemistry that the Dallas Wings roster is creating.
Bueckers, Ogunbowale, Tyasha Harris, and Maddy Siegrist linked up to do the viral fairy TikTok dance. Siegrist has been with the franchise since she was drafted third overall in the 2023 draft.
Harris and Bueckers are newcomers to the franchise this season, as Bueckers was drafted first overall this year, and Harris was a part of a four-team trade last summer that sent her and DiJonai Carrington from the Connecticut Sun to Dallas.
