While discussing the matter, Paige Bueckers recalled a rumor that hinted at her being pregnant.
"The internet is so unserious. I just can't believe the stuff that be happening," Bueckers said. "I don't know if it was you [Deja Kelly], Malu, or Callie showed me like, what did it say, 'concussion-like symptoms, she's sick, see you in 9 months'. Like bro, this is so unserious and I really get a kick out of it now." (39:26)
