2022 Dallas Wings season

The 2022 Dallas Wings season was the franchise's 25th season in the Women's National Basketball Association and the 7th season for the franchise in Dallas - after relocating from Tulsa and Detroit. This was second season under head coach Vickie Johnson.

The season got off to an up and down start with the Wings losing their first game, but winning the next two. After losing the fourth game of the season, the team went on a three game winning streak. However, they ended the month with two losses and finished May with a 5–4 record. June started with their first five games being against Las Vegas or Seattle and the Wings went 1–4 in those games. In their final six games of the month they went 3–3 to finish June 4–7. Every loss in July was followed by a win, except for two straight losses to Chicago. The Wings finished July 4–5, but solidly in playoff contention. The team's fortunes changed in August when they won their first four games of the month and secured a spot in the 2022 WNBA Playoffs. The Wings announced on August 12 that Arike Ogunbowale would miss the rest of the regular season and the 1st Round of the 2022 WNBA Playoffs after she underwent a iliac crest core muscle avulsion repair. The Wings went 1–2 in regular season games Ogunbowale missed and the team finished August 5–2. Their 18–18 record secured them the sixth seed in the playoffs. The team's eighteen wins, was their most in a reglaur season as the Wings. The last time the franchise won eighteen games in a season was in 2015, when they were known as the Tulsa Shock.

As the sixth seed, Dallas faced off against third seed Connecticut in the first round of the playoffs. Being the lower seed, Dallas would play the first two games of the three game series in Connecticut, with the third game being in Dallas if needed. The Wings lost the first game by twenty five points in Connecticut, but would win the second game by ten to force a deciding game three in Dallas. Home court did not prove advantageous, as the Wings lost game three by fifteen points. Their 58 points in game three was their lowest point total of the season.
