On Friday, Connecticut Huskies guard Paige Bueckers confirmed to ESPN analyst Rebecca Lobo that she will be entering the 2025 WNBA Draft, as expected.

Paige Bueckers confirmed to us today that she will enter the 2025 @WNBA Draft. (Some had suggested she would not declare, play in Unrivaled, and then declare in 2026.)
