WNBA No. 1 pick Azzi Fudd is settling in with her new squad, the\u00a0Dallas<\/a>\u00a0Wings, and already gaining spotlight for her relationship status with teammate Paige Bueckers.<\/p>\n

Bueckers previously mentioned in a TikTok video that she and Fudd were dating, but it’s been unclear whether they were still dating in the build-up to the WNBA Draft. While Bueckers attended the event alongside other players and applauded Fudd going first overall, there wasn’t much interaction between the alleged partners at the event or in social media posts.<\/p>\n

While that may have been a decision to keep things from interfering with Fudd’s spotlight, it also led to speculation that they might no longer be dating.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, a Dallas Morning News reporter attempted to ask about their situation at a recent introductory press conference the Wings held for Fudd, and the Wings’ media representative shut down questions regarding their players’ personal lives.<\/p>\n

However, things took an intriguing turn when another interview clip began circulating on Friday, in which Fudd provided a curious response to a reporter’s question about joining Bueckers on the Wings.<\/p>\n

The sit-down interview, conducted by Michelle Montaine of Dallas\u2013Fort Worth’s ABC affiliate,\u00a0WFAA Sports<\/a>, appeared on YouTube after Fudd’s introductory press conference for the Wings. The new interview also arrived after the Dallas Morning News reporter called out the Wings for shutting down his question about Bueckers and Fudd.<\/p>\n

In part of the interview, Montaine asked Fudd about the fact that she and Bueckers share the experience of going No. 1 overall in back-to-back WNBA Drafts.<\/p>\n

Fudd mentioned that when she went to UConn, she had her best friends, Caroline and Bueckers, both playing on the same team with her in college.<\/p>\n

“And then here I am. No control in where I get drafted, and I get to play with my best friend again, so it really is special,” she says, regarding playing alongside Bueckers on the Dallas Wings.<\/p>\n
