WNBA Sends Four-Word Message to Paige Bueckers on Wednesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings are coming off a big win on Tuesday night. The struggling Wings secured just their second victory of the season via an 80-71 win over the Golden State Valkyries at College Park Center.

Bueckers led the charge again for Dallas, dropping a game-high 20 points on 9-of-18 from the floor. The highly touted rookie also added four rebounds, two assists, four steals and two blocks to round out her big performance.
Bueckers was out and about on Wednesday. She attended the Texas Rangers’ home game against the Kansas City Royals at Globe Life Field. The 6-foot guard was a guest of honor for the baseball contest, with Bueckers throwing out the ceremonial first pitch.
The WNBA caught wind of Bueckers’ latest public appearance, and they decided to send the 23-year-old a message.
“We see you, @paigebueckers1 🤩” the league posted on X, sharing a video of Bueckers’ pitch for the Rangers.
The pitch wasn’t exactly a strike for Bueckers, but the No. 1 overall pick of the 2025 WNBA Draft wasn’t bad either.

Bueckers, though, feels much more comfortable on a basketball court than on a pitching mound. She will get to return on Friday as the Wings take on the 2-10 Connecticut Sun.

The Sun are far from the best team in the WNBA right now, which allows Bueckers and Co. to potentially mark their first set of back-to-back wins this season.
Tip-off for that one is scheduled at 7:30 p.m. ET from the Mohegan Sun Arena.
