Paige Bueckers has been one of the best finds of the current WNBA season. Displaying a brand of aggressive and skillful basketball, Bueckers outshone Caitlin Clark with a historic WNBA rookie record. Despite the Dallas Wings biting the dust this season, the 23-year-old has been their sole ray of hope. Meanwhile, the former UConn Huskies star has been taking the hardwood by storm, but recently felt deep pain after witnessing a horrific tragedy.
In a recent media interaction, reporters asked the Wings’ star about the tragic school shooting in Minnesota. Speaking about the same, the 23-year-old basketball star had some strong words to share about the existing gun laws.

For reference, the school shooting that occurred in Minnesota on Wednesday took several lives. As many as two children lost their lives, and 17 others find themselves seriously wounded at the Annunciation Catholic School. And hearing about the tragedy, Bueckers was pained. Reflecting on the matter, the Dallas star stressed the importance of having stricter gun laws in place. This way, no parents will have to worry about sending their wards to school.
“I’ve been sending prayers … It’s just really unfortunate. I hope there are stricter gun laws put in place so parents don’t have to worry about sending their kids to school, people don’t have to worry about attending church and all these places are safe,” said Bueckers.

Draymond Green Gives Strategic Advice To Paige Bueckers
Draymond Green is undoubtedly one of the NBA’s legends. Unfortunately, playing alongside the likes of Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler, Green was unable to get the Golden State Warriors over the line this time. But in the past, the 35-year-old has surely shown his class and has bailed his team out of tight situations. Thankfully, the NBA icon has now offered a piece of advice to both Bueckers and the Dallas Wings.
In a recent casual debate online, Green pointed out how the Dallas Wings are making a big mistake. He also stated that the wrongdoing is holding back the 23-year-old rookie, who might have more potential. “In order to be in the race, she has to. But does she do it? They need to now build the team properly. They’re holding on to the wrong pieces,” Green said.
Surely, the Wings have already started building up for the next season. While they are already eliminated, they expect things to get better next season. And with rumors of Olivia Miles teaming up with Bueckers, fans are waiting to see how things pan out.
