**Wings Bolster Roster with Hardship Signings Amid Injury Crisis**

**DALLAS, TX** – The Dallas Wings, struggling with a 1-11 record, have signed former Stanford Cardinal guard Haley Jones and veteran Kaila Charles to hardship contracts. The moves come as the team deals with a depleted roster due to injuries and players departing for international competition.

Teaira McCowan and Luisa Geiselsöder are participating in EuroBasket, while Maddy Siegrist is sidelined with a knee injury. Adding to the Wings’ woes, Tyasha Harris will miss the remainder of the season following knee surgery.

Jones, who was released by the Atlanta Dream before the season and subsequently played four games with the Phoenix Mercury, will provide immediate depth. With the Mercury, she averaged 2.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.0 assist in around 12 minutes per game. This will be her second time facing the Golden State Valkyries this season. Jones was waived by the Mercury on June 8, following the return of Alyssa Thomas and Natasha Mack.

Charles, a familiar face, returns to Dallas after being waived just days ago. During her 11 games with the Wings this season, the 6’1″ guard/forward averaged 4.9 points and 3.5 rebounds. A second-round pick in the 2020 WNBA Draft, Charles brings experience from Connecticut, Atlanta, and Seattle.

Adding a touch of familiarity, Jones will reunite with former Stanford teammate DiJonai Carrington. The pair played together during the 2019-20 season.

The Wings, currently on a seven-game losing streak, hope the additions of Jones and Charles will provide a spark as they face the expansion Golden State Valkyries in their inaugural matchup tonight at 5:00 p.m. (PT).
