Paige Bueckers "thankful" for being at her first WNBA All-Star weekend

Paige Bueckers was named to the All-Star team as a starter this year and will take the floor for Team Napheesa Collier on Saturday. She has been solid for the Dallas Wings, averaging 18.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists as a rookie.

From lighting it up for UConn a few months ago to now being an All-Star, it has been quite the journey for Bueckers. While arriving at the All-Star weekend on Friday, she spoke to reporters and expressed her gratitude.

“Feeling blessed,” Bueckers said. “I’m very thankful to be here. It’s just a crazy experience just living out my childhood dream. Happy to be here.”

While Paige Bueckers has been shining, the Wings (6-19) have struggled collectively, holding the 12th position in the standings. The team is a game and a half behind the Chicago Sky (7-15) in 11th. Bueckers and Co. will look to close the gap when they take on the Seattle Storm on Tuesday.
