The 2024 Dallas Wings season is the franchise's 27th season in the Women's National Basketball Association and the 9th season for the franchise in Dallas - after relocating from Tulsa and Detroit. This is the second season under head coach Latricia Trammell. The regular season tipped off on May 15, 2024, at home versus the Chicago Sky. [1]
The Wings started the season by splitting the opening two games with Chicago. They would go on to lose at Atlanta before winning the next two games of their road trip. They would close the month with a two-point road loss to Connecticut to finish the month with a 3–3 record. June would prove a much more trying month for the Wings. The loss to end May turned into an eleven-game losing streak. On June 9, they did force overtime versus Phoenix, but ended up losing the game by seven points. None of the games during the June portion of the losing streak were within five points. They finally broke the streak on June 27 at home versus the Minnesota Lynx. They lost the last game of the month to finish with an 1–11 record. They started July with two losses but achieved a three-point win at home versus Atlanta to prevent a new streak from building. They would lose their next three games before ending the month with a win versus Indiana. They finished the month 2–5 and went into the Olympic break with a 6–19 record. Satou Sabally returned from the break healthy, but it was not enough as the Wings lost their first three games back from the break. However, they evenutally gelled, winning their last three games of the month. The highlight was an eighteen point win over Minnesota on the final day of the month. The three-game winning streak would be their last wins of the season, as the Wings lost all nine games in September. They did force overtime versus Atlanta on September 6 and only lost to Seattle on September 13 by two points. The Wings finished with a 9–31 record, one game above Los Angeles to prevent finishing in last place. Their .225 winning percentage was their worst since 2011, when the francise was located in Tulsa.
