Paige Bueckers has been met with numerous challenges at the start of her WNBA career. After capping her superb NCAA stint with a national championship at the University of Connecticut, Bueckers joined the Dallas Wings as the top pick in the 2025 draft -- but the former National Player of the Year has tasted victory only once in the pro ranks.

The Dallas Wings announced on Sunday afternoon that star Paige Bueckers has cleared concussion protocol but will be out for today's game against the Minnesota Lynx due to an unrelated illness.

When the Dallas Wings selected former UConn Huskies star Paige Bueckers with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, it was an immediate fresh start for the franchise. She has the potential to become a legitimate superstar.
