You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Paige Bueckers delivered one of the moments of the WNBA season Saturday night in Arlington. Down fourteen points heading into the fourth quarter, the Dallas Wings rallied all the way back against the Chicago Sky, and with thirty point six seconds left, Bueckers hit a three while getting fouled, converted the free throw, and College Park Center absolutely lost its mind. That is a player who does not blink.
Shifting to the hardwood of a different kind, the Dallas Stars are making serious moves to lock up winger Jason Robertson, projected at twelve million dollars per year. The organization is shopping defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin and potentially moving fan favorite Radek Faksa to clear the cap space necessary. Robertson is that valuable, and Dallas is making it crystal clear they intend to build around him.
And in the fight world, UFC Fight Night two eighty one just got a whole lot more interesting. Dricus Du Plessis returns to the octagon for the first time since losing the middleweight belt to Khamzat Chimaev, and he is stepping right back into the fire against former welterweight champion Kamaru Usman on July eighteenth in Oklahoma City. That is a main event with real teeth.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
