**Dallas Wings’ Paige Bueckers Enters Concussion Protocol, Out for Minimum Two Games: Team Announces New “Bueckers-Free” Game Plan**
In a shocking turn of events that has left fans both bewildered and mildly amused, Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers has entered concussion protocol, rendering her unavailable for at least two games. The team announced the news with a press release that included a heartfelt message from the head coach, who was reportedly seen wearing a tinfoil hat during the press conference.
“Paige is a vital part of our team, but we’ve decided to embrace the chaos,” said Coach Linda “The Strategist” McFlurry. “We’re going to implement our new ‘Bueckers-Free’ game plan, which involves a lot of yelling and hoping for the best. It’s like playing Monopoly without the money—confusing, but somehow still entertaining!”
In a bizarre twist, the Wings have also announced that they will be replacing Bueckers with a cardboard cutout of her likeness, which they’ve affectionately named “Paige 2.0.” “She may not be able to shoot threes, but she definitely won’t get a concussion,” said team mascot, “Dunkin’ Donut,” who was seen practicing his best impression of Bueckers’ signature moves.
Fans have taken to social media to express their support, with one die-hard follower, who goes by the name of “BasketballBabe69,” tweeting, “I’m just glad we’re not playing the Sparks. They’d probably try to steal Paige 2.0 and put her on their bench!”
As the Wings prepare for their next game, the team is reportedly considering a new strategy: “Operation Confuse the Opponent.” This involves dressing all players in Bueckers’ jersey and hoping the other team gets so confused they forget how to play basketball altogether.
In the meantime, Bueckers is expected to recover fully, but not before she’s had a chance to binge-watch every season of “The Office” and perfect her impression of Michael Scott. “I’m just trying to find the best way to make my return,” she said in a statement, “and if that means impersonating a fictional character, then so be it!”
Stay tuned for updates on Paige’s recovery and the Wings’ new game plan, which may or may not involve interpretive dance.
