Paige Bueckers Makes Announcement a Day After Return to Minnesota

Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers made her return to Minnesota on Wednesday night — the state she called home for the first 18 years of her life. She and the Wings took on the Minnesota Lynx at Target Center in a tightly contested game, ultimately falling 85–81. Bueckers had a tough night shooting, going just 3-of-11 from the field, but she still recorded the first double-double of her WNBA career, finishing with 12 points and 10 assists.

Bueckers teamed up with Sherwin-Williams to help unveil a new paint color: "I'm excited to partner with Sherwin-Williams to unveil The Loneliest Color™ 2025 – Radiant Lilac SW 0074," Bueckers wrote on Instagram. "💜 Led by creative visionary Dapper Dan Harlem, we crafted this unique look for the tunnel walk in my hometown. 🏀 Fashion is a big part of how I express myself and I love the quiet confidence this color brings." This announcement came just one day after Bueckers wore a Dapper Dan pregame outfit featuring Sherwin-Williams' "The Loneliest Color."

Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers and Minnesota Lynx forward Alanna SmithBruce Kluckhohn-Imagn Images "We're always looking for ways to inspire consumers to take bold and unexpected approaches in their color choices," Wadden said. "The Loneliest Color™ is exactly that — celebrating the unique, daring shades that have often been overlooked and would have been considered unconventional before."

But the tide is changing, and the next generation of athletes are continuing the work the legends have started and are helping to ignite attention and inspire new fans."
