By no fault of their own, Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd were the talk of the WNBA when the Wings selected Fudd, rumored to be Bueckers’s girlfriend at the time, with the No. 1 pick at this year’s draft in April.
Drama ensued. Fudd was asked if she was still dating Bueckers during the team’s introductory press conference, causing a Wings PR spokesperson to butt in and provide the following statement: “I understand why you have to ask that question, but we’re going to respectfully decline from comments on our players’ personal lives.”
