Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers addressed growing speculation about her relationship with teammate Azzi Fudd during the team's media day on Monday. When reporters asked about their personal connection, Bueckers was direct in her response.
"Quite frankly, I believe me and Azzi's personal relationship is nobody's business but our own," Bueckers said. "And what we choose to share is completely up to us."
Both players were top draft picks who now play together in Dallas. Bueckers was selected first overall in 2025, while Fudd was drafted as the top pick earlier this month in 2026.
Bueckers said she did not want to discuss their personal lives further. She emphasized that both she and Fudd have maintained high standards as professional athletes.
The comments come as social media buzz has grown around the two former college stars. Both players built huge followings during their college careers before joining the WNBA.
The statement shows how female athletes face intense scrutiny about their personal lives beyond just their sports performance. It highlights ongoing debates about privacy for public figures and what fans feel entitled to know about their favorite players.
The Wings will continue their season with both players focusing on basketball rather than personal speculation.
