Paige Bueckers Awkwardly Leaves Azzi Fudd Hanging In Viral Sideline Moment [VIDEO]

After a solid win against the Indiana Fever, the Dallas Wings returned to the home court, welcoming another top team, the Atlanta Dream. While Paige Bueckers had already praised her competitor, Angel Reese, ahead of the game, the Dream forward put in a commanding performance and helped her side win the second game in as many fixtures.

Amid this, the camera caught a sideline moment between Azzi Fudd and PB, where the former 2026 Rookie was left hanging by her former UConn teammate.

The Atlanta Dream’s gameplay left the Wings’ defense on its back foot with the visiting side controlling every aspect of the game early. While the Wings looked clinical in the opening game, their efforts were well short of challenging the Dream’s offense.

While the 2025 rookie was looking for answers, during the break, she missed a ‘high-five call’ from Azzi Fudd, who then hit PB on the chest region. She later tried to respond with a ‘dab’, but they once again missed it as Fudd moved away. The camera caught the moment live.

Bueckers shot 80% in the opening game while her efficiency dropped below 50% in the second game, netting five shots out of 12.

Yet the guard put up an eye-catching performance, helping the side stay close to the Dream team. On one occasion, her ankle breaker drew much appreciation from fans.

The League GMs selected Chelsea Gray as the top point guard in the WNBA, followed by Caitlin Clark and the Wings’ guard. But in the recent game, the former UConn star also showed her ball-handling skills. Bueckers caught the ball on the perimeter in the third quarter and used Canada’s momentum against her with a sudden stop move that sent the Dream guard to the floor.

She scored an easy basket, leaving the defender ‘ashamed’. Fans loved the play and cheered their favorite star.

Her pacing, balance, and ability to manipulate defenders already look polished at a veteran level. That is part of why many around the league believe Bueckers has a real opportunity to become one of the WNBA’s elite guards.
