Paige Bueckers is currently working through her rookie season with the Dallas Wings.

The former UConn Huskies star was drafted by the Wings with the No. 1 overall pick. After four years at UConn, Bueckers was set to make an immediate impact on the struggling WNBA team.

During her rookie season with the Wings, Bueckers suffered a head injury, keeping her sidelined, currently on concussion protocol.

As Bueckers works her way back into the lineup, looking to get clear from the WNBA's protocol and return to action, she was involved in some big news outside of the white lines.

On Monday, Wings reporter Joey Mistretta revealed that Panini America is honoring Paige Bueckers with a basketball card.

The rookie card is available for a limited time, seemingly urging fans to make a move and purchase a piece of memorabilia from the Wings star.
