The Dallas Wings are beginning to get healthier as they prepare for a nationally televised matchup against the Indiana Fever on Sunday. Following Friday\u2019s practice, head coach Chris Koclanes confirmed that Arike Ogunbowale<\/a> (left thumb) is set to return to the lineup, while DiJonai Carrington<\/a> (rib) remains day-to-day.<\/p>\n

Ogunbowale, who last played on June 28 in a win over the Washington Mystics, fully participated in practice and is trending toward rejoining the rotation. She has averaged 16.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 3.9 assists in 18 appearances this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cArike\u2019s here. She practiced,\u201d Koclanes said. \u201cShe\u2019s good to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carrington, meanwhile, got shots up during Friday\u2019s session but did not fully participate. She\u2019s missed six straight games since suffering a rib injury on June 20 against the Connecticut Sun. Carrington is averaging 11.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.1 assists across 14 games this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cDiJonai is day to day,\u201d Koclanes said. \u201cI\u2019m leaning on our medical team, but as far as I know, it could be any day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both players were previously ruled out for Wednesday\u2019s 87\u201376 road loss<\/a> to the Chicago Sky, where the Wings (6\u201315) started four rookies and center Li Yueru<\/a> due to ongoing injury absences. The team has leaned heavily on its rookie core in recent weeks, with Paige Bueckers<\/a>, JJ Quinerly<\/a>, Aziaha James<\/a>, and Luisa Geisels\u00f6der all logging extended minutes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Dallas re-signed Haley Jones<\/a> to a rest-of-season contract earlier this week to stabilize the rotation, and she contributed four points off the bench in her return against Chicago. With Ogunbowale cleared and Carrington nearing a return, the Wings could soon return to a more familiar lineup.<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s game against the Fever (12:00 p.m. CT, ABC) marks the end of a difficult three-game road trip for the Wings. The team has lost three straight away from home and is eager to regroup heading into the All-Star break.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to flip that script,\u201d Koclanes said. \u201cThere\u2019s a narrative out there that we can\u2019t play on the road. Players are having career highs against us. We want to show up in Indiana with intensity and toughness.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Wings have been without not only Ogunbowale and Carrington but also Maddy Siegrist<\/a> (right knee) and Tyasha Harris<\/a> (left knee) \u2014 the latter of whom has been ruled out for the season. Siegrist is continuing her rehab, but no formal timetable has been set for her return.<\/p>\n

With a win on Sunday, Dallas would have a chance to head into the break with momentum and potentially a fuller rotation. That starts with the return of Ogunbowale \u2014 and the continued progress of Carrington.<\/p>\n
