Rumors

It has been a poorly kept secret for quite some time that Paige Bueckers is in a relationship with one of her former teammates, but the Dallas Wings star has now officially confirmed it. During an event on Thursday in advance of the WNBA’s All-Star weekend, Bueckers was asked by WAG Talk to play a game called “how well do you know your D1 girlfriend?” The No. 1 overall pick agreed, and it quickly became clear that she and UConn basketball star Azzi Fudd are dating. Bueckers answered all of the questions fairly easily, which suggests she and Fudd have been together for quite a while.

Maggie Hendricks: Dallas Wings just announced that Paige Bueckers will miss the next two games because she was placed in the WNBA concussion protocol. That is a bummer. She was getting treatment for a while after the game last night.

The Mavericks have yet to publicly broadcast this position with loud volume, but all the behind-the-scenes whispers continue to suggest that they will refuse to entertain the idea of fielding trade offers for the No. 1 overall pick in the June 25 draft. It's an opportunity, materialized almost exactly a month after the WNBA's Dallas Wings drafted UConn star Paige Bueckers. that can't be squandered. When I asked a source close to the process last week if the Mavericks trading away the ability to draft Duke phenom Cooper Flagg away would be considered, I was emphatically told: "No chance." "No ... not even for Giannis," said another source briefed on the team's thinking.

Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores submitted a bid for the city to receive a WNBA franchise, sources told Yahoo Sports. The Detroit Shock were a big part of early WNBA history, winning championships in 2003, 2006 and 2008 before moving to Tulsa in 2010 — and before being rebranded as the Dallas Wings. The Shock set single-game records for attendance in the 2003 WNBA Finals as 22,076 fans filled the Palace of Auburn Hills to see Game 3 against the Los Angeles Sparks, and they matched that mark again in the 2007 Finals. Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever set the single-game regular-season record against the Washington Mystics this past season with 20,711.

The WNBA last season had its most-watched regular season in 24 years and its best attendance in 22 seasons. Some of the league's most popular players currently are competing in a new 3-on-3 league in South Florida called Unrivaled, founded by Olympic gold medalists Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart. ''We carry this on for him,'' said Satou Sabally, a forward with the WNBA's Dallas Wings who plays for the Phantom squad in Unrivaled. ''He would be so proud of this league. He would be proud of 'Phe and Stewie. I know that he's looking down and hopefully he's smiling and is proud of us.''

The WNBA — coming off one of its most successful years ever in terms of attendance and attention — had 12 teams this season; seven of those teams currently do not have coaches. The Dallas Wings are about to hire their fourth coach in seven seasons. The Atlanta Dream made the playoffs; they let Tanisha Wright go anyway. The Indiana Fever, with Caitlin Clark coming off her record-setting rookie year, fired Christie Sides over the weekend after a 1-8 start was turned around into a playoff berth. And on Monday, the Connecticut Sun and coach Stephanie White parted ways after back-to-back trips to the WNBA semifinals.

Brittney Griner had been harassed at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport earlier this month by a conservative YouTube personality as she and her Mercury teammates were traveling following a game against the Dallas Wings. Griner was speaking during a media availability on Monday about Phoenix’s interim coach Nikki Blue when the subject of travel was brought up.  “‘I’ll say this. I think we should have already had the option to use a different airline, a more private airline, charter flights,” Griner said, according to ESPN. “It’s a shame that it had to get to rock bottom, because I feel like waiting for something to happen and then making a change … you don’t know what that ‘something’s’ going to be. We’ve all seen what can happen in this world. And when you play the ‘let’s-wait-and-see game,’ you’re really playing with fire. You’re playing with people’s lives. “So I’m glad that they finally got it together — and, you know, are going to allow us to do this. It’s just a shame that it took so damn long, honestly.”
