WNBA star Paige Bueckers confirms she's dating former teammate Azzi Fudd
During a July 17 interview with WAG Talk, the Dallas Wings guard was asked to answer a few questions about her 'D1 girlfriend,' and at the end, she revealed the person she was referring to was Fudd, her former UConn Huskies teammate.
Some of the questions Bueckers answered were about Fudd's basketball career, her family and the writing that's on Fudd's phone case, which says 'Paige Bueckers' girlfriend' — and she answered them with a smile.
In the comments, fans said they were happy for the couple.
'Ok this is like THE REALL hard launch 😭,' one person wrote.
'She cheesing mad hard too, that's her girl fr,' another said.
A third added, 'This interviewer deserves a raise... I dream for nights like this.'
Gatorade, who named Fudd its 2018-19 National Player of the Year, also got in on the fun.
In the comments, the brand seemingly joked about how long it took Bueckers to answer some of the questions. In the video, she would sometimes take a moment to think about her answer before saying it out loud.
'We were worried for a second there,' Gatorade's account wrote.
After answering a series of questions about what WAG Talk described as her 'D1 girlfriend,' Bueckers was asked to do a 'girlfriend reveal.'
'Azzi Fudd,' the athlete answered with a smile.
In June, eagle-eyed fans noticed Fudd's phone case appeared to read 'Paige Bueckers' girlfriend.'

WNBA says fan arrested for throwing sex toy on court and vows future bans
The WNBA said Saturday that the individual who threw a sex toy on the court at an Atlanta Dream game earlier in the week was arrested and that any person throwing objects onto the court will be ejected from the arena and face a minimum one-year ban. The incident in Atlanta occurred late in the fourth quarter of the Dream's game against Golden State on Tuesday in College Park, Georgia. On Friday, another sex toy was thrown in Chicago under a basket after a whistle was blown to stop play during the third quarter of Golden State's 73-66 victory over the Sky. An official kicked the object aside before it was picked up and removed. It's unknown if the fan who threw the object at the Sky game was arrested. #Breaking: Another Sex Toy Thrown onto the Court During #WNBA Game #ChicagoSky #Valkyries 'The safety and well-being of everyone in our arenas is a top priority for our league. Objects of any kind thrown onto the court or in the seating area can pose a safety risk for players, game officials, and fans,' the league said in a statement. 'In line with WNBA Arena Security Standards, any fan who intentionally throws an object onto the court will be immediately ejected and face a minimum one-year ban in addition to being subject to arrest and prosecution by local authorities.' 'It's super disrespectful,' Sky center Elizabeth Williams said after Friday's game. 'I don't really get the point of it. It's really immature. Whoever is doing it needs to grow up.' New York Liberty forward Isabelle Harrison commented on social media about the situation Friday. 'ARENA SECURITY?! Hello??!' Harrison said on X. 'Please do better. It's not funny. Never was funny. Throwing ANYTHING on the court is so dangerous.' WNBA arenas have security procedures, with many having either a no-bag policy or some allowing clear bags, often limited in size. Every bag is subject to search upon arena entry.

Lynx F Napheesa Collier departs with ankle injury
August 2 - Minnesota Lynx star forward Napheesa Collier exited Saturday's road game against the Las Vegas Aces late in the third quarter with an apparent right ankle injury. The WNBA's leading scorer was trailing a Minnesota fast break when her feet got tangled with teammate Alanna Smith, who had been bumped by Aces guard Jewell Loyd in a battle for positioning under the basket. Collier went down to the court as the players transitioned to the other end of the floor. Both teams surrounded Collier as she sat on the court with 10.8 seconds left in the third and the Lynx leading 92-49. Collier rose, only to fall back down to the court, favoring her ankle. She was helped off the court by a member of the team's medical staff then walked under her own power into the Lynx locker room. Collier had 14 points in the third quarter alone and finished the game with 18. An All-Star this season, she is an MVP candidate with a league-best 23.8 points per game. --Field Level Media
