Paige Bueckers made her WNBA debut on Friday during the Dallas Wings' opening preseason game of the season against the Las Vegas Aces. In her first action in the pros, Bueckers scored 10 points with four rebounds and one assist as the Wings fell 112-78 to the Aces.
Coming out of UConn as a national champion and the No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA draft, excitement is high for Bueckers's rookie season, as are expectations. Not only was Bueckers the consensus top prospect in her class, but she follows the successful 2024 rookie class that produced two WNBA All-Stars in Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.
