Paige Bueckers Makes Merry As Dallas Wings Surges Ahead In The League
Paige Bueckers has been the center of attraction in the WNBA this year. After taking on the league by storm, fans are eager to see whether the rookie star will continue to impress with her stellar hooping display. And thankfully, the 24-year-old is in some incredible form at the moment. Facing off against the Seattle Storm, Bueckers once again ended up on the brighter side.
Right from the first minute, it was Wings who took control of the game. Dropping 10 points in the game, the Wings’ star got all of her points in the first half to give the Wings a 36-25 lead. Shooting 4-of-12, the former NCAA champion ensured that Dallas defeated Seattle with a 79-56 scoreline. Bueckers also had nine rebounds and seven assists to further aid her team’s victory.
The Dallas Wings improve to 6-3 on the season after defeating the Seattle Storm, marking the team's best start through 9 games since relocating to Texas in 2016.

Surprisingly, despite a solid showing, the 2025 Rookie of the Year was not the team’s leading scorer. Coming off the bench, Aziaha James dropped 18 points to make things easy for Dallas. This victory also lands the team third on the table. With six wins and three losses, Bueckers and co. will surely dream big.
Meanwhile, speaking of dreaming big, the 24-year-old is already making some incredible strides outside of the hardwood.

I wouldn’t even pay $10 for my own jersey.”
