Sedona Prince Omitted from 2025 WNBA Draft Amid Abuse Allegations

During the 2025 WNBA Draft, held on April 14 in New York City, the Dallas Wings made headlines by selecting UConn star Paige Bueckers as the first overall pick. Bueckers is expected to significantly impact the Wings' performance and contribute to their playoff ambitions. However, the draft was also marked by the absence of TCU center Sedona Prince, who went undrafted amid serious allegations of abuse and injury concerns that overshadowed her collegiate success. Despite being a highly regarded player, Prince's off-court controversies and age raised red flags for WNBA teams, leading to her exclusion from the draft. Fans reacted positively to her being overlooked, expressing relief and viewing it as a form of 'cosmic justice.' The draft highlighted the ongoing challenges women athletes face regarding personal conduct and the scrutiny that comes with it.
