Dallas Wings teammates Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd have disclosed that their romantic relationship ended more than a year ago, prior to Fudd being selected by the franchise in the WNBA draft. The revelation came as the pair reflected on their reunion in Dallas after previously winning a national championship together at the University of Connecticut.
Bueckers emphasized that Fudd's selection by the Wings was based solely on merit. "She was drafted because she deserved it," Bueckers stated, underscoring that the draft decision was independent of their personal history. The two players have already completed one full WNBA season together since the breakup.
The former UConn stars, who helped lead the Huskies to a national title, now share a backcourt in Dallas. Their transition from college champions to professional teammates has drawn attention, particularly given the timeline of their personal relationship relative to Fudd's entry into the league.
