Selected first overall out of UConn in the 2025 WNBA Draft, 23-year-old Paige Bueckers has lived up to the hype, averaging 18.6 points, 5.4 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game while shooting 45.7% from the field and 33.3% from distance.

Paige Bueckers is making rookie history, and fans are taking notice. On Monday, the WNBA announced she has earned her second straight Kia Rookie of the Month award. That announcement caps off another week of standout play for the Wings’ top draft pick.

The Dallas Wings had quite the scare during Tuesday's loss to the New York Liberty when rookie star Paige Bueckers left the game with a back injury, but it appears she avoided a significant setback.
