Paige Bueckers Unveils Named Hometown Court in St. Louis Park

The trip aimed to inspire local children by restoring her childhood court as the Dallas Wings navigate a short losing stretch

Overview

  • Bueckers returned to St. Louis Park on Monday and surprised children by unveiling a refurbished Blackstone Park court that now bears her name.
  • She described the visit as a full‑circle, restorative moment that helped her “heal my inner child” and said she hopes the event becomes a core memory for local kids.
  • In the same weekend, Bueckers produced 23 points on 10-of-15 shooting and eight assists in a 103-90 loss to the Minnesota Lynx.
  • The loss was the Wings’ third straight and left them 19-14 on the season, a slide that has seen the team lose six of eight games and put pressure on their playoff standing.
  • Bueckers’ hometown investment continues a pattern of athlete-led community work and raises her profile as an off-court leader after recent public comments on equity in the WNBA, with potential to boost youth engagement and local support for the sport.
