Paige Bueckers Looks Forward to Moving on After Getting Much-Hyped WNBA Debut Out of the Way

  • Paige Bueckers made her 2025 WNBA debut on Friday night against the Minnesota Lynx at a sold-out arena on the Texas-Arlington campus.
  • The debut followed Bueckers being drafted in April by the Dallas Wings, who acquired her after leapfrogging the Los Angeles Sparks in the draft order.
  • Bueckers, a 6-foot UConn alum, played 30 minutes, scored 10 points including the game’s first two, grabbed seven rebounds, and had two assists despite shooting 3-of-10.
  • Minnesota opened the season with a 99-84 win over Dallas, led by Napheesa Collier’s 34 points and a strong all-around effort from Courtney Williams, who contributed 25 points along with nine assists.
  • Bueckers’ debut signifies the start of her professional career after a record-setting college run, while the Wings aim to improve on last year’s 9-31 record and missed playoffs.
