The Wings will be led by twotime WNBA All-Star Arike Ogunbowale, who averaged 19.7 points in 2022, tying her for third in the WNBA. Ogunbowale is joined by newly-acquired forward Natasha Howard, a three-time WNBA champion, two-time All-Star and former Defensive Player of the Year.

Leading the team is Latricia Trammell who makes her WNBA head coaching debut in 2023 after spending the three previous seasons as the lead assistant coach for the Los Angeles Sparks.

The Wings front court features recently extended 6’7 center Teai- ra McCowan who is coming off a strong showing during her 2022 year. McCowan, after joining the Wings in 2022, earned WNBA Player of the Month accolades for August. She is joined by 2021 AllStar Satou Sabally, who enters her fourth season with the Wings. The former No. 2 pick in the WNBA Draft enters the 2023 WNBA campaign following an impressive overseas season that included Euroleague and Turkish League Championships.

The team will be without two of its players as the season starts, however. Rookie guard Lou Lopez Senechal is scheduled to undergo knee surgery next week and will miss approximately six to eight weeks of action. Guard Diamond DeShields will also miss extended time this season as she deals with a knee injury. The team will provide medical updates on both players when appropriate.

Brittney Griner Returns to Dallas

Texas native Griner makes her return to Dallas when she and the Phoenix Mercury play a pair of games against the Wings at College Park Center on Wednesday June 7 at 7 p.m. and Friday, June 9, also at 7 p.m. Griner, a Houston native, went to college at Baylor University in Waco where she led them to the 2012 NCAA Championship, which capped the team's perfect season (40–0). Griner received both the Naismith Award and the Wooden Award as the outstanding collegiate women's player. In addition, she was named AP Player of the Year.
