Despite being eligible for the 2024 WNBA Draft, UConn women’s basketball junior guard Azzi Fudd told ESPN’s Rebecca Lobo that she plans to return for her senior season in Storrs.
“I plan on staying,” she says in a video that Lobo posted on her own Twitter/X account. “Why would I want to leave the basketball capital of the world?”
Fudd will turn 22 on Nov. 11, 2024, which fulfill’s the WNBA’s requirement of being 22 in the year of the draft. Her decision to stay doesn’t come as much of a surprise, though. Fudd has been spectacular when healthy, but she’s struggled to stay on the floor.
