After officially taking Paige Bueckers with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, the Dallas Wings didn’t waste time promoting her rivalry with Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark.
Bueckers and Clark have been in each other’s orbit for years now, with both players among the top five high school recruits of the 2020 class. They also faced each other twice during their collegiate years, splitting the matchups with one win each.

After Bueckers won the national championship with the UConn Huskies this 2025, several fans compared her and Clark once again.
The Wings know very well that Bueckers and Clark are often pitted against each other, and so they didn’t shy away from using that fact to announce that tickets for their first game against the Fever are now on sale.
