Azzi Fudd Returns to UConn for Another Season

UConn Huskies guard Azzi Fudd has announced that she will return for another season, bypassing the 2025 WNBA Draft where she was projected as a first-round pick. Fudd cited the need to continue developing her skills and improving her game as the main reasons for her decision, which is supported by UConn coach Geno Auriemma, who believes she has not yet reached her full potential. Despite past injuries limiting her playtime, Fudd has had a strong season, averaging 13.4 points per game and showcasing her talent with 45.3% three-point shooting accuracy. Her decision comes as teammate Paige Bueckers is expected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming draft. UConn advanced to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament, with Fudd playing a pivotal role in their recent victories. Her return is seen as a significant boost for the Huskies as they aim for another national championship.
