Bueckers is

all business

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers says her relationship with teammate and fellow No. 1 overall pick Azzi Fudd will have no effect on what they do on the court as they try to turn around a franchise with a long history of losing.

Bueckers made a statement before taking questions from reporters during media day. The statement from Bueckers came 11 days after the Wings wouldn’t let Fudd answer a question about her relationship with her former UConn teammate during Fudd’s introductory news conference.

The two went public with their relationship last year. They haven’t addressed the status of that relationship since the draft.

Pirates manager Don Kelly says Griffin was a “great sport” about the bounce house.

He says it’s unusual for anyone to celebrate his 20th birthday in the big leagues.
