Dallas Wings fans expressed frustration over the team's social media post celebrating Arike Ogunbowale's 1000th career assist during a 78-70 loss to the Golden State Valkyries. They pointed out the lack of recognition for Azzi Fudd, the No. 1 pick, who broke the franchise rookie record with 61 3-pointers in a season earlier this month. The Wings are struggling without Fudd, holding a 1-5 record since her injury on August 7. They average just 24.7% shooting from beyond the arc in her absence, which could be a league worst. The Wings will next play the Indiana Fever on Thursday, hoping for Fudd's return.
