Dallas lost to Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky, 87-76. Bueckers finished the game with 17 points and four assists.

Fudd and Bueckers were teammates at UConn for four years. They helped the Huskies win the national championship in April. However, last month rumors of former teammates being more than just friends started to swirl. She added a mirror selfie on Instagram and the phone case read, "Paige Bueckers' girlfriend."

Moreover, following the Wings' loss to the Mercury on Monday, Bueckers signed an autograph for a fan holding a sign that read, "Azzi Fudd’s girlfriend."

Azzi Fudd to take on leadership role at UConn following Paige Bueckers' departure to WNBA

Azzi Fudd has one year of eligibility left at UConn before joining Paige Bueckers in the pros. Bueckers was drafted by the Dallas Wings with the top pick in April and has made an immediate impact in the WNBA.

With the Minnesota native out of the picture, Fudd, a veteran guard, will be tasked with bringing the same energy to the Huskies program.

"I think taking it progressively — like one step at a time," Fudd said about her approach to stepping into a leadership role next season, via Storrs Central. "Like saying the things I see, whether it's starting with just my stuff, like on defense or on offense."

The upcoming season will be Fudd's fifth year in Storrs, although she has only played one full season due to injuries.
