UConn star Paige Bueckers brightens a fan's day with heartwarming gesture on the sideline

UConn Huskies star Paige Bueckers was at the WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday night at Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona. She sat courtside dressed in jean shorts and a denim puffer jacket drawing attention from the crowd.

Bueckers, a potential top pick in the 2025 WNBA draft, enjoyed the evening watching the showdown between Team USA and Team WNBA alongside LSU's Flau’jae Johnson.

An Instagram video shows the 6-foot point guard approaching the arena and turning back to take a selfie with a young female fan who was in the tunnel seating. Bueckers took the fan's phone as the two smiled for the photograph.

Paige Bueckers never hesitates to be in the mix and enjoys interacting with fans. The Minnesota native will play her final year of college basketball in the upcoming season, and she dreams of winning the national championship in her final dance.Despite having won almost every individual honor at the high school and college levels, Bueckers is yet to lift the NCAA title, which is her ultimate goal in 2025.
