Paige Buckets has arrived.
After going No. 1 overall in the 2025 WNBA Draft, Bueckers is now down south in Dallas with her new team. In official photos, here’s a first-look at Paige wearing her No. 5. Wings jersey.
Paige once told CT Insider’s Maggie Vanoni that she picked five because that’s what she wore when she played with USA Basketball. The kicks she’s wearing are the “X-Ray” Kobe 5s to match the fly of her Wings uniform.
Ahead of training camp, which officially starts April 27, the Wings welcomed her and fellow WNBA draft picks—Aziaha James, Madison Scott, JJ Quinerly and Aaronette Vonley—in an introductory press conference. Sitting alongside new General Manager Curt Miller and new head coach Chris Koclanes, Paige talked about the Wings being a “winning organization,” and that they’ll “continue to build off each other, continue to build off the momentum of women’s sports and the wave that’s been created.”
