Paige Bueckers Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Paige Bueckers has continued to dominate the headlines over the past few days with a string of significant achievements and appearances. After capping her extraordinary rookie campaign in the WNBA—where she was drafted first overall by the Dallas Wings and earned Rookie of the Year honors—Bueckers made history by breaking the WNBA single-game rookie scoring record with a dazzling 44-point performance. Sports Illustrated and OurSports Central both highlighted Paige’s entry into the exclusive 35/5 rookie club—only two rookies in league history, Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers herself, have ever posted at least 35 points and five three-pointers in a game, with Bueckers’ stats against the Phoenix Mercury reading 35 points, five threes, six rebounds, and four assists on 68 percent shooting. She is rapidly becoming not just a rookie sensation but a new face of the league.

Her business profile is also booming. Fox Business reports that just days ago, Paige announced an exclusive memorabilia deal with Fanatics, the sports merchandising giant. This agreement comes on the heels of her stellar rookie season and reflects her rapidly growing marketability. Her Fanatics partnership is expected to be a key part of her long-term brand strategy as she continues to carve out a unique commercial presence among WNBA stars.

Bueckers’ impact on women’s basketball is now reaching new heights as she was once again selected as the number one pick, this time in the 2026 Unrivaled League draft. According to The Daily Campus, the Unrivaled League, co-founded by Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, held its internal draft this week for its fast-growing second season, and the expansion team Breeze wasted no time in selecting Bueckers at the top overall spot after her record-breaking rookie season with the Dallas Wings. This marks the second time this year that Bueckers has gone first overall in a draft, a double feat underscoring her lasting biographical significance.

While focused on her career, Paige continues to support her friends and former teammates. SWX Local Sports covered her recent visit to Spokane, where she attended Gonzaga’s home opener to cheer on Inês Bettencourt, her former UConn teammate. Bueckers took time to practice with the team and offered valuable insights during a team discussion, leaving strong impressions on players and coaches with her leadership and presence.

On the social front, Sports Illustrated caught Paige sharing a heartfelt birthday tribute to her girlfriend, UConn star Azzi Fudd, spreading some joy and showing her public support for Fudd.

In lighter news, Yardbarker noticed that Bueckers debuted a striking new look, retiring her signature braids from her college days as she embraces her new WNBA persona.
