In her 97 games with the Wings, the 6-4 forward averaged 15.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.1 steals per contest. Despite being limited to 15 games in 2024, she put up impressive numbers: 17.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game.

Kalani Brown → Phoenix Mercury
Brown wraps up her second season with Dallas after averaging 5.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.1 assists over 39 games in 2024. The 6-7 center was drafted seventh overall by the Los Angeles Sparks in 2019, later playing for the Atlanta Dream before joining the Wings. A Baylor alum and 2019 NCAA champion, Brown is currently playing in China for Inner Mongolia Nongxin, where she’s putting up 20.3 points and 8.2 rebounds per game.

Sheldon was one of just two Wings to appear in all 40 games in 2024, making 26 starts as a rookie. She averaged 5.4 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game, while leading all WNBA rookies in free-throw percentage (.926).

Brown earned her spot on the Wings roster through training camp in 2024, appearing in 14 games as a rookie. She averaged 2.6 points and 1.5 rebounds per game while shooting 48.4% from the field and 50.0% from three.
