Are those wedding bells we hear? Well, Paige Bueckers keeps owning headlines—and now she’s also claiming bridal style stakes. When teammate Maddy Siegrist recently asked fans for flat wedding shoe recommendations, Bueckers couldn’t resist chiming in.

“Nah facts I need some flats for the wedding too!” Bueckers replied—proving even in casual banter, her charm is next-level. The light-hearted exchange comes ahead of Siegrist’s October 31 wedding to fiancé Stephen Perretta—yes, Bueckers is officially invited, and now she’s demanding comfier kicks.

But this isn’t just a cute moment. It shows the bond between these two rising wings—once college rivals, now teammates and friends making memories off the court. That chemistry might be the spark the Dallas Wings need.

Through all the rookie season chaos—record-breaking games, WNBA All-Star nods, Rookie of the Month awards—Bueckers keeps it real. Mixing humor with humility, she’s a scoring machine and a human being all wrapped in one.

Truth be told, as the WNBA season is now winding down and prepping for the postseason, a little bit of extra scenes that show the depth and humanity of these women athletes show an alternative side to their often fierce demeanor when competing for the game. Moments like these are worth sharing and enjoying and we are all definitely here for that too.

At the moment, Paige Bueckers is bringing the heat on the court—and the wedding planning group chat. Who says WNBA stars don’t multitask with style?

Passes here, there, and everywhere, Paige Bueckers has been playmaking like a sniper at optimal range. She’s already bagged another Rookie of the Month with the amount of points and assists that she’s put up this period.

And right next to Paige Bueckers, we have Siegrist. A rebounder with an eye for scoring. She’s been helping Paige carry the load over several games by marking up points and the key rebounds that fed the passing, scoring machine. As coach Chris Koclanes noted, “She’s been a consistent scoring threat since she came back, and we need that.”
