Paige Bueckers Sets WNBA Rookie Records, Honored by Gatorade

Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers has become one of only three WNBA players to record at least 180 points, 50 assists, and 40 rebounds in her first 10 games, joining Betnijah Laney-Hamilton and Cappie Pondexter in this achievement. She helped lead the Wings to back-to-back wins following a tough losing streak. Off the court, Bueckers was honored with a limited-edition Shirley Temple-inspired Gatorade flavor, reflecting her long-standing partnership with the brand, which began when she became the first college basketball player to sign an NIL deal with Gatorade. Her relationship with former UConn teammate Azzi Fudd has also drawn public attention, adding to her rising celebrity status. Bueckers continues to expand her influence through endorsements, including signature sneakers with Nike and a custom paint color with Sherwin Williams. Her strong rookie season is marked by both impressive on-court achievements and a growing off-court presence.
