The Dallas Wings received disappointing news just ahead of their preseason matchup against the defending champion Las Vegas Aces.
Guard Tyasha Harris has been ruled out due to a knee injury, putting a damper on the team’s preparations and raising early concerns as the WNBA season approaches.
Harris, known for her speed, court vision, and leadership on the floor, was expected to play a pivotal role in the Wings’ backcourt this season. Her absence not only affects the team’s depth but also limits the opportunity for building early chemistry in preseason action. The Wings had been looking forward to evaluating player rotations and testing lineups against one of the league’s top teams.
While the severity of the knee injury has not yet been fully disclosed, the Wings organization has expressed caution in handling Harris’s condition. With the regular season just around the corner, the team is unlikely to rush her return, prioritizing long-term health over preseason performance.
This development adds to the challenges Dallas already faces in a competitive Western Conference. The Aces, led by a powerhouse roster, present a tough test for any team—even at full strength. Without Harris, the Wings will likely rely more heavily on players like Arike Ogunbowale and Odyssey Sims to handle ball distribution and perimeter defense.
For Harris, the injury is a frustrating setback after a promising offseason. Fans and teammates alike will be hoping for a swift recovery as the Wings aim to improve on last season’s performance and make a deeper playoff run.
As Dallas prepares for their game against the Aces, all eyes will be on how the team adapts without one of their key contributors—and how soon Harris can make her return to the court.
