The WNBA Rookie of the Year hopeful didn't sound too worried about the back issue when speaking to reporters after the Wings' 85-76 loss. Bueckers noted that the flare up was totally "random," and that she felt it while dribbling down the court.

The Liberty made their push via a balanced attack. Jonquel Jones led the team with 15 points and 10 rebounds while Leonie Fiebich had 14, Natasha Cloud had 12, Emma Meesseman had 13 and Stephanie Talbot had 13 off of the bench.
