Dallas Wings Make Paige Bueckers Request Amid Rookie Season

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Max Escarpio | Last updated Jun 17, 2025 3:50 PM ET

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

Bueckers has missed some time due to injury, but she's clearly been one of the best rookies in her first season in the league, proving to be a top-level scorer and facilitator.

She was selected by the Wings with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft and has not been disappointing in terms of Dallas' investment in the talented guard.

Bueckers made the move to Dallas after four years with the UConn Huskies, having led her team to the national championship last season.

In her final year playing women's college basketball, Bueckers helped UConn climb the mountaintop and defeated Dawn Staley and the South Carolina Gamecocks to win the title.

During her rookie season, the Dallas Wings have promoted Paige Bueckers for the WNBA All-Star game.

"It's almost like she's been here before," posted the official social media account of the Dallas Wings. "Vote now to get Paige Bueckers to her first All-Star game."
