Paige Bueckers has been met with numerous challenges at the start of her WNBA career. After capping her superb NCAA stint with a national championship at the University of Connecticut, Bueckers joined the Dallas Wings as the top pick in the 2025 draft -- but the former National Player of the Year has tasted victory only once in the pro ranks.

Paige Bueckers played her first regular season game in Connecticut as a member of the Dallas Wings on Tuesday night.

Paige Bueckers was officially cleared to return after missing three games while in concussion protocol, but the Dallas Wings rookie was out again on Sunday against the Minnesota Lynx due to an illness.
