Bueckers Impresses as Wings Edge Fever 107-104 in Rivalry Rematch

In the season-opening thriller, the Dallas Wings toppled the Indiana Fever 107–104 as Paige Bueckers (20 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists) showed efficient, free-flowing play, while Caitlin Clark (also 20 points) battled back issues and logged five turnovers in a game where Bueckers’ 80% shooting highlighted a growing rivalry and Clark’s lingering injury impact. The result sets the stage for an ongoing clash between two future MVP contenders.

GMs Rate Caitlin Clark Lower Than Expected; Paige Bueckers Tops Franchise Pick

The WNBA's 2026 GM survey shows Caitlin Clark remains a star but isn’t rated as highly as some expected, trailing in MVP, best passer, and top-point guard votes while Chelsea Gray dominates those categories; in the pivotal “start a franchise today” question Paige Bueckers edges Clark (33% vs. 20%), signaling Clark might be undervalued despite her rising profile and strong rookie year.

Bueckers Deflects Relationship Questions, Emphasizes Professionalism with Azzi Fudd on Wings

Paige Bueckers opened Dallas Wings media day by addressing her off-court relationship with Azzi Fudd, saying it’s private and that the two will stay professional on and off the court. The former UConn stars are now Wings teammates after Fudd was drafted No. 1 in 2026 and Bueckers went No. 1 in 2025, and they stressed that their relationship has no bearing on basketball as they prepare for a preseason game against the Indiana Fever.

Paige Bueckers Labels Geno-Staley Feud ‘Unfortunate’ After Final Four Drama

Paige Bueckers called the Geno Auriemma–Dawn Staley sideline confrontation after UConn’s Final Four loss “unfortunate,” noting the strong basketball on display should’ve been the focus. Auriemma apologized for his postgame actions and later addressed Staley directly, while Staley urged moving on. The Huskies’ loss ended a 54-game win streak and handed South Carolina the chance to reach the national title game against UCLA, which ultimately ended in UCLA’s win. Bueckers visited the Huskies afterward to offer support and reflect on a disappointing finish for the program.
