The Dallas Wings claimed the top pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft after winning the league’s annual draft lottery for the first time in franchise history. The results were revealed Sunday night during a live ESPN broadcast following the TCU vs. North Carolina State women’s basketball game.
Dallas, which had participated in the lottery 11 times before, entered the drawing with a 22.7% chance to land the top pick. They were joined in the lottery by the Los Angeles Sparks, Chicago Sky, and Washington Mystics. The Sparks secured the second pick, followed by the Sky and Mystics in third and fourth, respectively.
The draft lottery odds were based on the cumulative 2023-24 records of non-playoff teams. The 2025 WNBA Draft, set for April 14, will be pivotal for Dallas as they look to build on their young core.
