After officially taking Paige Bueckers with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, the Dallas Wings didn’t waste time promoting her rivalry with Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark.
Bueckers and Clark have been in each other’s orbit for years now, with both players among the top five high school recruits of the 2020 class. They also faced each other twice during their collegiate years, splitting the matchups with one win each.
