Azzi Fudd was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft by the Dallas Wings. It's the second year in a row the Wings picked first.
Last year, they chose Paige Bueckers.
Yep, both out of UConn, but more notably, in a relationship (at least that was confirmed in a TikTok video last year by Bueckers, although it hasn't been discussed much publicly since then).
The pair seems to show up to support each other, and fans of Paige and Azzi follow their various moves to keep track of what's happening.
That brought Fudd to Thursday, her introductory press conference with the Wings.
During the presser, Fudd was asked about her relationship with Bueckers.
The Wings' PR team shut the question down before Fudd could answer:

It's not an entirely unreasonable line of questioning in the sense that it does potentially matter. Basketball fans were trying to determine whether the Wings picked Fudd in part because of the presence of Bueckers on the roster already.
Fudd was clearly in consideration for the first overall pick, but she wasn't considered a shoo-in.
In reality, though, it doesn't matter. The Wings have Fudd now. She's Bueckers' teammate again. And Dallas will be happy if their on-court relationship works, no matter what they do off the court.
