Wings' Paige Bueckers gets incredible Gatorade surprise
The post Wings' Paige Bueckers gets incredible Gatorade surprise appeared first on ClutchPoints. ARLINGTON, TX — Paige Bueckers has denied being a celebrity despite emerging as one of the most popular athletes in sports today. Celebrity or not, Bueckers' rise is catching the attention of fans, players, coaches and companies. Gatorade even surprised Bueckers with a limited edition flavor of her self-proclaimed 'favorite drink' following the Dallas Wings' 80-71 win against the Golden State Valkyries on Tuesday night. Advertisement During the Wings' postgame press conference, a Gatorade bottle was placed on the table in front of where Bueckers was sitting. A reporter asked Bueckers about the drink — which had her face on it. Before Bueckers could even respond, Myisha Hines-Allen, who was sitting next to Bueckers, asked about it as well. Bueckers, with a shy but excited smile on her face, grabbed the bottle and showed Hines-Allen so she could see the front of it. Paige Bueckers then turned it around to show the reporters once again before explaining the backstory. 'This is a limited edition Gatorade flavor,' Bueckers said. 'Shirley Temple, it's like my favorite drink of all-time so they put it in a Gatorade flavor. So, pretty fire.' Advertisement Bueckers made her comments with a big smile on her face. Perhaps the honor of receiving her own limited edition Gatorade impacted that smile. Of course, the idea of drinking a Shirley Temple flavored Gatorade probably played a role as well, as the Shirley Temple is her 'favorite drink of all-time.' It was an all-around good moment following a strong win for Paige Bueckers and the Wings. It has been a challenging season overall for the team — they are now just 2-11 — but perhaps the victory on Tuesday will help Dallas get back on track. The Wings will have a couple of days off before their next contest, which is scheduled for Friday night at 7:30 PM EST in Connecticut against the Sun.

Paige Bueckers issues warning after Wings' first home win of 2025 WNBA season
The post Paige Bueckers issues warning after Wings' first home win of 2025 WNBA season appeared first on ClutchPoints. ARLINGTON, TX — The Dallas Wings earned an 80-71 win on Tuesday night against the Golden State Valkyries. The victory represented Dallas' second win of the 2025 WNBA season. It was also their first win at home in 2025. Paige Bueckers, who led Dallas with 20 points, warned the Wings about falling into complacency following the much-needed victory. Advertisement 'It means a lot,' Bueckers told reporters. 'Especially at home, the way the crowd supported us tonight… Was our sixth woman on the court. They just have stuck with us through the wins and the losses, they continue to show their support and it means a lot to get one here. But it also just means that we want to keep building off of this. 'We don't want to get complacent with, I mean, our second win of the season. We want to continue to keep building, keep progressing and really just build off the energy and effort that we played with tonight. I think if we continue to do that then great things will happen. And the rest will take care of itself.' The Wings are now just 2-11 overall. Still, Dallas could find a rhythm and make things interesting in the standings. Defeating a team like the Valkyries — who entered play with a 5-5 record — could spark a confidence boost. 'Like Paige said, we don't want to get complacent with this just being our second win,' Myisha Hines-Allen added. 'We want to keep building on this. We got a tough Connecticut team coming up. So we're just looking towards that team right now.' Advertisement The Wings feature a talented team. They have not played up to their expectations yet, but Tuesday's win could prove to be a turning point. Dallas' next game is scheduled for Friday night against the Sun in Connecticut. The Wings earned a 109-87 win in Connecticut back on May 27, so they would love to get the job done once again this time around.
