UConn’s star guard Paige Bueckers has always been at the top of the list when it comes to college basketball sensations. Bueckers might have been among the top five picks in this year’s draft, but she opted to play one more season with the Huskies in an attempt to win their first championship since 2016 and guarantee her place as the top overall pick the following year.

In a recent ad for Gatorade, Bueckers appeared to show which team she might be headed to as she sweated a distinct shade of purple.

It may seem like a small thing, but it caused her fans to go crazy. Is this a hint that the Golden State Valkyries, the WNBA’s newest expansion team, will make its debut in 2025 and have a lot of purple in their uniforms, and Paige Bueckers might be headed there?

While the reveal of the Valkyries new branding had the basketball community buzzing, the colorway of “Valkyrie Violet” caught the attention of Bueckers as she showed how much she loved their colors.

Bueckers averaged 21.9 points on 53% shooting from the field, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game en route to a Final Four berth. In 2021, Bueckers won the Naismith College Player of the Year award and was selected as a unanimous first-team All-American twice, via ESPN.com.

Bueckers will play for UConn again in 2024–2025.

UConn Star Paige Bueckers Broke Silence on Alleged ‘Leaked’ Content of Her and Caitlin Clark

Due to purported leaked pornographic content involving them, UConn Huskies player Paige Bueckers and former Iowa Hawkeyes standout Caitlin Clark were trending inappropriately back in April.

Fans showed their support by flooding search results for Bueckers and Clark with their basketball highlights and Bueckers’ inspirational ESPY speech celebrating black women, even though the authenticity of these materials could not be verified. This prevented the explicit footage from emerging.

On Tuesday, April 23, Bueckers finally addressed the matter in a post on the social networking site X, which was once known as Twitter.

“The devil works hard, but God and the people around me work WAY harder. The outpouring of love and support from the WBB community is unreal. Love yall. Support women in sport ALWAYS,” the 22-year-old said.

VIDEO: Nick Bosa Could Be In Serious Hot Water After Crashing Brock Purdy’s Postgame Interview To Make A Shocking Political Statement On Live TV

Nick Bosa may have landed himself in hot water with the NFL following his actions after the San Francisco 49ers beat the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night.

The Niners enjoyed a 30-24 win over Dallas in the ‘SNF’ fixture. Quarterback Brock Purdy had a stellar game, completing 18 of 26 passing attempts for 260 yards and a touchdown while showing some surprising athleticism as a scrambler.

Bosa also had an impressive outing as he made life pretty difficult for the Cowboys offensive line, also making three tackles, a sack, and two QB hits.

After the game, he popped up behind Purdy while the QB was being interviewed and pointed to his “Make America Great Again” hat before running toward the locker room.
