The newest face of the Dallas Wings wasted no time making an impression.
Paige Bueckers, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, arrived at her introductory press conference Wednesday holding a pair of custom Kobe 5 “X-Ray” sneakers, dressed in a black and white Nike rugby polo.
“Why not me” Paige Bueckers’ confession of what fueled her comeback
Bueckers walks into the WNBA with style
The footwear, featuring a colorway reminiscent of the Wings’ own branding, was a nod to her love of basketball heritage and a signal that she’s ready to carve out her own.
After an emotional farewell to UConn, where she won a national championship and became the first women’s college player with her own signature sneaker, Bueckers is officially stepping into the pros.
Her transition marks not just the beginning of preseason for Dallas, which starts May 2, but also a new chapter for a franchise hoping to rebuild after a tough 9-31 season.
The press event introduced all five of the Wings’ 2025 draft picks, but it was Bueckers who drew the spotlight.
She received welcome gifts from the organization and shared her excitement about playing in the same city as one of her idols, Kyrie Irving.
But it wasn’t just about first-day flair, expectations are sky-high for the 23-year-old phenom.
“Exciting, exciting moment,” said general manager Curt Miller.
“Paige obviously comes off a national championship, one of the most decorated collegiate players and one of the most efficient players in college basketball history.”
He continued: “For her career, she’s over 50% field goal, over 40 from the 3-point line and nearly 90% from the foul line, so nearly for her career, 50/40/85. So media, I know every practice that you’re gonna want to talk to Paige at the end of practice-we will be shooting extra foul shots so we can get to that 90 so she can be the 50/40/90, but one special player and special addition to Dallas.”
The Wings’ roster has seen an offseason overhaul, with new talent including DiJonai Carrington, NaLyssa Smith, and Myisha Hines-Allen joining forces with Bueckers and star Arike Ogunbowale.
If Bueckers lives up to the hype, she could quickly become the cornerstone of the team’s future, and a new face for the league itself.

Is it fixable? As Texas’ offensive struggles continue, tough questions face Steve Sarkisian, Arch Manning
AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas won an SEC game it shouldn't have Saturday night in Lexington. Those aren't my words. Longhorn QB Arch Manning said as much Monday after the Wildcats more than doubled Texas' yardage (395-179) in an overtime loss. But, at least to All-American safety Michael Taaffe postgame, the vibes from the media weren't positive enough. "These questions seem a little bit negative, I'm not going to lie guys, to the offense," Taaffe said postgame sitting next to Manning. "I'll say this, it's freaking hard to win in the SEC … We freaking won. Let's put some smiles on our face. We won. The show goes on." You get it from one of Texas' captains. Emotions are high after a game, and he's protecting his friend. Thing is, this wasn't a one-off result. Texas is averaging just 16.8 points per […]

Upset alert in NFL Week 8? Why these favorites could fall, including Packers vs. Aaron Rodgers
Week 7 was as square as SpongeBob as favorites dominated the slate. In all, favorites covered 11 of the 15 games and went 13-2 straight up, so the dogs certainly weren't barking throughout the weekend. While that doesn't necessarily correlate with Week 8 becoming a comeback story for the dogs, there certainly should be some leveling out in that regard. Week 8 features a smaller collection of games, with six teams on the bye. However, the majority of matchups have spreads of 6.5 or fewer, indicating a number of close contests and the possibility of upsets. Where can those possible upsets be found? Let's highlight a handful of favorites who could be on upset alert this week. NFL odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook. Bet NFL at FanDuel and get $300 in bonus bets with a winning $5 wager.
