As anticipation builds for the next WNBA season, all eyes are on Paige Bueckers, the UConn star widely expected to make her professional debut in 2025.
Often compared to reigning Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark, Bueckers is already generating significant excitement, with her potential landing spot, the Dallas Wings, experiencing a surge in fan interest.
The Dallas Wings recently secured the top pick in the 2025 draft lottery, setting the stage for what many believe will be the selection of Bueckers.
The impact of this news is already apparent; the Wings have sold out their Season Ticket Memberships, reaching the milestone months ahead of schedule.
The team’s ticket sales highlight the growing anticipation surrounding Bueckers‘ potential to reshape the franchise and the WNBA.
Caitlin Clark has been a game-changer for the WNBA, drawing record crowds and elevating the league’s profile since her debut.
🚨 PER RELEASE: The Dallas Wings announced that the team has sold out of its Season Ticket Memberships for the 2025 season.

Her influence is unparalleled, but Bueckers‘ imminent arrival could introduce a new dynamic. Their rivalry dates back to 2021, when both players were awarded Freshman of the Year honors, sparking debates among fans.
Despite setbacks from injuries during her college career, Bueckers has remained a standout player.
She averaged 21.9 points per game last season, led UConn to the Final Four, and earned a spot on the Preseason AP All-American Team, reaffirming her place among the nation’s elite athletes.
Charles Barkley‘s earlier praise of Bueckers underscores the high expectations surrounding her: “If that girl stays healthy, she is in the conversation with JuJu and Caitlin for the next 20 years.”
With her impressive performances this season, Bueckers has proven she is ready to bring her talents to the WNBA.

Transforming the Dallas Wings and the League
The Dallas Wings‘ decision to prioritize Bueckers in the upcoming draft speaks volumes about her potential impact.
The buzz surrounding her expected arrival has already sparked comparisons to the influence Clark brought to the WNBA. Yet, Bueckers appears poised to carve out her own path, adding a new layer of excitement to the league.
Clark‘s arrival in the WNBA marked a turning point, but Bueckers could help distribute some of the weight of carrying the league’s future on her shoulders. Her growing popularity and undeniable talent position her as a cornerstone of the WNBA’s next generation.

Said supporter was pictured in the stands wearing a Devils Jack Hughes jersey, but that was probably the least interesting thing about her as a lower body part caused her to trend on X.
A new set of photos of her showing her assets off has popped up online ahead of the weekend, with one of the accounts posting asking, “Are you a hockey fan?”
