Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers continues to enjoy the offseason and is preparing for the start of Unrivaled and her debut in this 3-on-3 league.
Now, at the party for players in the league co-founded by Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart in 2023, Paige stole the spotlight with a twerking dance with Minnesota Lynx guard Natisha Hiedeman.
Paige, in trouble with Azzi Fudd? That’s what fans think
Paige will have her first season in Unrivaled and will be wearing the colors of Breeze BC, alongside stars such as Aari McDonald of the Indiana Fever, Dominique Malonga of the Seattle Storm, Kate Martin of the Golden State Valkyries, and Cameron Brinck and Rickea Jackson of the LA Sparks.
However, on social network X, formerly Twitter, a video went viral of the former UConn player dancing at the players’ party alongside Hiedeman, the Lynx star and host of StudBudz alongside Courtney Williams.
Some fans enjoyed the dance and were happy to see her having fun, while others claimed it would cause problems with Azzi Fudd, her former teammate at UConn with whom she has been romantically linked:
“Every time I see Paige in clips from the StudBudz stream she’s having a blast and I love that for her,” one fan said. “Someone’s gonna sleep on the couch tonight,” added another user. “Azzi about to put her on timeout omg,” added a third follower.
Before the 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend in July last year, Bueckers spoke to PEOPLE and confirmed that she was in a relationship with Azzi Fudd: “We haven’t officially announced anything, but it’s just stuff has been happening that has it out there. So, it is what it is,” Paige said with a big smile.
Meanwhile, the 23-year-old point guard is coming off a dream season despite not qualifying for the playoffs with the Dallas Wings: she broke a number of records, averaging 19.2 points, 5.4 assists, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.6 steals in 36 games with the Wings, and closed out her year as Kia’s 2025 Rookie of the Year.
Now, she is preparing for a new challenge that she was part of last year, but since she was not in the WNBA, she was unable to participate as a player. Now, she will seek to take the Breeze to the top.
