Paige Bueckers' rookie WNBA season yielded Rookie of the Year honors, an All-Star nod, All-WNBA recognition and franchise-leading production. She managed to shine individually in what was an underwhelming 10-34 season for the Dallas Wings.

This week, Bueckers expanded her off-court portfolio by signing an exclusive, multi-year autographed memorabilia partnership with Fanatics. It will be the sole provider of her signed collectibles and will collaborate on unique products and charitable initiatives.

Fanatics veteran Tom Brady, who joined Fanatics in 2020 with a similar deal, recorded a short video welcoming the rookie to the company’s roster.

He said, “Hey Paige, Tom Brady here. From one Fanatics teammate to another, welcome to the family. I've seen how you compete with a total heart, incredible joy, and you are so clutch. Your game inspires a lot of people and we're proud to have you with us. It's going to be a fun ride with this team. Welcome to Fanatics.”

Bueckers joins a huge roster of athletes that includes big names like Aaron Judge, Jayson Tatum and Sabrina Ionescu.

“Partnering with Fanatics is a game-changer for me,” Bueckers said. “They’re the clear leader in the memorabilia industry and understand what matters most – the relationship between athletes and their fans. I couldn’t be more excited to work together, create incredible products, and continue to elevate women athletes and our game to new levels while building stronger connections for fans and collectors everywhere.”
