The 2019 WNBA season was the 22nd season for the Dallas Wings franchise of the WNBA. This was the franchise's 4th season in Dallas. The season tipped off on May 24, 2019 versus the Atlanta Dream.[1]
During the off-season, interim coach Taj McWilliams-Franklin was not retained. Brian Agler was hired from the Los Angeles Sparks to become the team's new head coach.[2]
The Wings started the season slowly, losing their first five games in a row. However, they turned things around, winning 4 of their next 6 to finish June with a 4–7 record. July proved to be disastrous for the Wings. They posted a 1–8 record in July only beating the Los Angeles Sparks at home. The Wings managed to turn things around in August, going 5–6 overall. Three of those five wins game against eventual playoff teams. The team couldn't keep the momentum going, finishing the season on a 4 game losing streak. Their final record of 10–24, was the franchises worst record since moving to Dallas, and worst record since 2012. Rookie Arike Ogunbowale proved to be a bright spot for the team. She won Rookie of the Month in June and August and lead the team in points scored per game, and assists per game.
