Maddy Siegrist

In a fourth quarter characterized by missed shots, unfriendly bounces, and the Los Angeles Sparks’ ferocious last-minute comeback attempt, the Dallas Wings were introduced to the benefits of having a player who specializes in the art of second-chance scoring. With her team’s once-sizeable, double-digit lead cut to just one in the game’s final minute, Maddy Siegrist tilts the game’s scales once more, jousting into the crowded paint before snagging her teammate’s miss and reversing it back in for a clutch, crowd-silencing putback. Not even 24 hours removed from a career-best showing — headlined by seven offensive rebounds — the 2023 No. 3 selection turned to her tireless motor in helping the Wings capture a one-point victory. A scouting report nightmare for her ability to find holes and hustle opportunities against any defense, Siegrist added another chapter to her breakout campaign on May 26, 2024. Among the elites on the WNBA’s highest season-to-season increases in scoring average, the skilled forward proved impressive, tallying 15 points, eight rebounds, two steals, and one block.
