Debut For Ages Awaits Paige Buckers as Dallas’ New Favorite Child Plays Her Childhood Team

It all begins with the Wings rookie’s hometown, Hopkins, Minnesota, just west of the Twin Cities. It’s where Bueckers was once a young girl sitting in the stands, mesmerised by the Lynx dynasty. She didn’t just watch, they were her dream. “I was their biggest fan,” she said in an interview. Years have passed since then, and that kid has become a hooping queen. But as fate would have it, she is going to share her debut stage with the hometown team, just on the other end.

If anyone doubted where her heart once lay, Paige made sure to remind them. Just days before her WNBA debut, she posed for a photo in a Minnesota Lynx jersey. “Definitely full circle… I was their biggest fan,” she expressed. As expected, within minutes, the nostalgic image sent social media into a frenzy, perfectly setting the stage for what’s now being dubbed as ‘The Debut for the Ages.’

However, don’t be mistaken! Dallas is her new home, and the city is embracing her with open arms. After years of riding the Luka Doncic wave, the city may have found its next superstar. She’s already generating buzz as Dallas’ new favourite child, and May 16th could be her official coronation.

Even her hometown couldn’t resist honouring the moment as she gears up to make the regular season debut against the Minnesota Lynx.
