Flau’jae Johnson’s mom Kia Brooks drops 3-word reaction to Paige Bueckers’ first 30-point game of WNBA career

Former UConn star Paige Bueckers is in the early stages of her WNBA career. After showing flashes of her talent in the first six games of the season, she missed the Dallas Wings' next four games because of concussion protocols and illness.

On Wednesday, she made her return to the Dallas Wings' lineup in style. She put up 35 points against the Phoenix Mercury, marking the first time in her young career that she eclipsed 30.

Overtime WBB highlighted her feat on Instagram:

"FIRST 30+ POINT GAME OF HER PRO CAREER IKTR."

Many fans flocked to the comments to celebrate Bueckers' performance. One of those was Kia Brooks, the mother of LSU star Flau'Jae Johnson.

"Yes my girl," Brooks wrote.

Despite Paige Bueckers' impressive performance, the Dallas Wings were unable to secure the win, losing 93-80. It was the Wings' sixth loss in a row.

The Wings have a 1-10 record, with their lone victory coming against the Connecticut Sun on May 27.

Paige Bueckers speaks about her performance after the Wings lose to the Mercury

While it was an incredible scoring night for Bueckers, her team's struggles continued. Paige Bueckers spoke with the media after the game, saying she could have been a little more physical.

"I mean I was coming back from a break and I feel like I could have used my voice more, been more disruptive, crashed the glass more," Bueckers said. "So as I get my wind under me, I’ll be better in those areas. But like I said, just trying to contribute in other areas and whatever that looks like on any given night and will try to put my full effort toward that."

A big issue for the Wings was efficiency. While Bueckers shot 13-for-19, including 5-for-7 from 3-point range, the rest of the team had a bad shooting night. Bueckers' teammates shot 16-for-48, including 0-for-12 from 3-point range.
