Dallas Wings' Arike Ogunbowale Out for Game Against Indiana Fever

The Dallas Wings will be without star guard Arike Ogunbowale for their game against the Indiana Fever on Tuesday due to tendinitis in her right knee. The team confirmed she will remain sidelined and will be reevaluated in the coming weeks with no specific return timetable announced [1][2][3][5].

The injury was officially announced by the Dallas Wings on August 19-20, 2025, indicating she will miss at least several weeks as she recovers from the knee tendinitis. Given this, she is unavailable for upcoming games, including the match against Indiana Fever on Tuesday [1][2].

The injury report states that Ogunbowale did not participate in shootaround on Tuesday. No additional information about her injury was provided by the Wings. Grant Afseth of Dallas Hoops Journal shared the information about Ogunbowale's non-participation.

Meanwhile, Paige Bueckers, who returned to play after dealing with a back injury, is listed as available for the game against the Dallas Wings. She scored 17 points in her last game against the Mystics [4]. The Wings, currently 8-24 and far from the playoff pictures, lost their last game against the Mystics, with a score of 91-78 [6][7]. They have lost five straight games since their win over the New York Liberty on July 28.

In the absence of Ogunbowale, the game between Dallas Wings and Indiana Fever will be an interesting match to watch. The game tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on ESPN. The Indiana Fever, who are again playing without Caitlin Clark, will be looking to capitalize on the Wings' current slump. Paige Bueckers remains optimistic about her new team and is eager to make a difference in the game.
