Alanna Smith returns to action after collision in Dallas Wings victory

Dallas Wings forward Alanna Smith returned to the court Sunday after a first-quarter collision with Paige Bueckers during a game against the Connecticut Sun. Smith initially headed to the locker room following the contact but re-emerged before halftime to finish the contest. She recorded seven points and two rebounds in 17 minutes of play while defensively limiting Diamond Miller. Dallas finished with a 97-71 victory to move to 24-16 on the season. The team has clinched a playoff spot and sits tied for the eighth seed heading into the FIBA World Cup break. Smith will represent Australia during the upcoming hiatus before the Wings resume their schedule against the Los Angeles Sparks on September 17.
