Jose and Azzi are adopted siblings. Both of their parents were basketball players. Their mother, Katie Fudd, played at NC State and Georgetown before she joined the Sacramento Monarchs in the 2001 WNBA draft. Their father, Tim Fudd, played basketball at American University.

They have an older brother, Thomas, and another adopted younger brother, Jon.

Azzi Fudd to return to UConn next season

Azzi Fudd announced her return in an Instagram post on Tuesday.

"Hey Gampel, thanks for last night… See you next year🤗😝😏 #onemoreyear," she captioned the post.

Fudd joined UConn in 2021 as a No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2021 and has become an integral squad member alongside star senior guard Paige Bueckers. However, she missed the 2023 season after she tore her ACL and then missed three games in December after another knee injury.

Fudd has had a standout season with the UConn Huskies, averaging 13.4 points per game and contributing significantly to the team's success as they advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament after defeating South Dakota State.
