Paige Bueckers Sets Boundary on Azzi Fudd Questions at Wings Media Day

Her one-time remarks signal a push to keep coverage on basketball.

Overview

  • Bueckers, speaking at Dallas media day on Monday, said her and Azzi Fudd’s personal relationship is “nobody’s business but our own” and that she will not revisit the topic.
  • She said Fudd was drafted No. 1 because she earned it, pushing back on speculation that Dallas made the pick to please its star guard.
  • The media-day statement followed Fudd’s April introductory presser, where a Wings PR staffer cut off a question and declined to discuss players’ personal lives.
  • With training camp underway, Dallas faces Indiana in a preseason game on April 30 and opens the regular season on May 9 in Indianapolis.
  • Bueckers and Fudd, former UConn teammates who confirmed their relationship in July 2025, emphasized they have long kept off-court matters from affecting their play.
