The 2025 WNBA season tipped off with a three-game slate on Friday. The Dallas Wings battled the Minnesota Lynx at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas.
The game marks the professional debut of 2025 No. 1 pick Paige Bueckers. She looks to contribute to the Wings, which finished last season with the second-worst record (9-31).
On the other hand, Napheesa Collier’s Lynx, last season’s championship runners-up, start their 2025 campaign among the favorites to win the title. In the annual WNBA general managers’ survey, 60% of the GMs voted Minnesota as the title favorite.
