Tyrese Maxey’s girlfriend’s Instagram story

Bueckers was named a starter after fan voting ranked her as the No. 2 guard in the league; the media ranked her No. 5, and the players ranked her No. 4. She made Dallas Wings history after becoming their first rookie to be named an All-Star starter.

She has been solid with the Dallas Wings, averaging 18.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game. Bueckers has adjusted to the league’s defense, shooting 46.1% (33.3% from 3-point range).

Bueckers will be an All-Star starter next to Caitlin Clark, Napheesa Collier, Aliyah Boston, Allisha Gray, Sabrina Ionescu, Nneka Ogwumike, Satou Sabally, Breanna Stewart and A’ja Wilson. Clark and Collier have been named captains of the All-Star teams after accumulating the most fan votes.

Her Wings teammate, Arike Ogunbowale, might also make the team as a reserve. She made All-Star history last year by scoring 34 points, the most in the event's history. Ogunbowale is averaging 16.8 ppg, 2.7 rpg and 3.7 apg this season.
