Short-handed Dallas Wings fall to Atlanta Dream 100-78. "We ran out of gas a little bit"

The Dallas Wings needed some emergency relief to have enough players to play against the Atlanta Dream on Friday night.

The Wings fought hard, but just didn't have enough to beat the Dream, falling 100-78.

Dallas signed Christyn Williams and extended another seven-day contract to Amy Okonkwo to give the Wings the league minimum eight players available for the game.

"We didn't know if we'd have enough players to play tonight," Dallas wing Maddy Siegrist said after the loss.

The Wings were able to sign players to the hardship exception since they were below the minimum needed that occurs when a squad has two players or more out due to injury, illness or other extenuating circumstances.

"We're playing the hand we're dealt. We have people coming in who have never played before," said
