US EditionPaige Bueckers Says Relationship with Azzi Fudd Won't Impact Dallas Wings on-Court Focus
Bueckers said the players will keep personal matters private as Dallas tries to turn a last-place finish into a playoff run.
- On Monday, Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers addressed her relationship with teammate Azzi Fudd during a media session in Arlington, Texas, stating their personal connection is "nobody's business but our own."
- The statement followed an incident 11 days ago when Wings staff shut down a reporter's question about the pair's relationship during Fudd's introductory press conference, generating significant media attention.
- Bueckers emphasized they remain professionals, saying "we've never let anything that happens off the court carry onto the court," while stressing Fudd earned her draft position through basketball merit alone.
- Wings general manager Curt Miller confirmed the No. 1 selection was based solely on Fudd's resilience and performance, unrelated to her personal connection with the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year Bueckers.
- Fudd and Bueckers will make their professional debut together on Thursday, April 30, when the Wings travel to Indianapolis to face the Indiana Fever in their first preseason game.
