ARLINGTON, Texas — The Dallas Wings have waived forward Megan Gustafson and guard Kennedy Burke, the team announced Wednesday.

The Wings also moved Moriah Jefferson to the temporarily suspended list in order to finalize their roster for Opening Night, which for Dallas is Friday on the road at the Atlanta Dream.

Burke, the 22nd overall pick from UCLA, appeared in three preseason games.

Gustafson led all of college basketball in scoring average (27.9) and field-goal percentage (69.6) in becoming the first player from the Big Ten Conference to be named the national player of the year.
