Paige Bueckers is enjoying her offseason with appearances for multiple Texas franchises. She even showed love for Texas college teams in Red River Rivalry games, showing her loyalty to all the regional teams.
Amid all the busy schedules, the star also received a special honor – a 2025 NCAA championship ring. While Bueckers dropped a two-word reaction to UConn’s 2025 championship ring, there was a special dance that ended one speculation around the Wings’ star.
Paige Bueckers Sets Record Straight Following Championship Ring Dance Celebration
During the offseason, PB celebrated her birthday, but a notable absentee from her posts was Azzi Fudd, which spread rumors about a possible breakup between the two stars. Even the UConn Huskies star was silent on social media with any birthday wishes for the Dallas Wings All-Star.
While both players were silent on the speculations, their actions spoke volumes. After receiving the championship ring, they celebrated with a dance video together. Their chemistry was evident in the video and showed how close they are still.
While the UConn star is next in line to enter the WNBA, Sue Bird wants Azzi Fudd to soak in her last NCAA moment ahead of her final year at college, who spoke with the star on her podcast – ‘Fudd Around and Find Out’.
