When you hear the name Paige Bueckers, most people think of the basketball star who led the UConn Huskies to the national title in April and made her WNBA debut on Friday in the Dallas Wings’ 84-99 loss to the Minnesota Lynx.

The Lynx, the 2024 WNBA runner-ups, were down two starters (Kayla McBride and Alanna Smith) but seamlessly reintegrated Jess Shepard, who returned from a one-year hiatus from the league, and got great bench minutes from Diamond Miller, who had 13 points and three assists.
