Friday night at UTA’s College Park Center was rocking as the Dallas Wings hosted their final home game of the season with fan appreciation. Joining in the fun were Dallas Mavericks players Dereck Lively II and O-Max Prosper, and former Dallas Cowboy Terrell Owens who interacted with fans and even took to the court to swag surf.
The Wings (9-30), who have been eliminated from the WNBA playoffs, lost their home finale to the Seattle Storm, 83-81. Teaira McCowan posted game highs of 23 points and 15 rebounds to lead Dallas. After the game, Arike Ogunbowale gave away 10 pair of shoes to eager fans as part of fan appreciation night. The Wings will play their final game of the 2024 season on Thursday against the Las Vegas Aces in Las Vegas.
