The question is whether backcourt star Arike Ogunbowale will be part of Dallas’ future as the franchise rebuilds back into a playoff team.

Ogunbowale scored a game-high 20 points on 7-of-15 shooting and recorded a career-high 14 assists, a franchise record. While rookie Paige Bueckers also shined against the Liberty — she shot 7-of-12 for 20 points and added four assists — the phenom said the story of Monday night’s game should be about Ogunbowale.

Wings rookie Paige Bueckers returned to the lineup after missing the previous game. She scored 20 points and added six rebounds, four assists and three steals while shooting 7-of-12 and going 2-of-4 from three-point range.
