Paige Bueckers addresses her future with the Golden State Valkyrie

Paige Bueckers, slated to be a top prospect for the 2025 WNBA draft, has sparked speculation that she wants to play for the Golden State Valkyries. There have been several instances where she posted pictures of herself in lavender-purple outfits.

She also called the company's colorway "the prettiest ever." Additionally, she also posed for a Gatorade photoshoot where hints of purple sweats were edited on her face.

When the UConn star attended the WNBA All-Star weekend, she was a guest on a live recording of "A Touch More." Before the live recording, she attended an event co-hosted by Valkyrie and was asked by SFGATE if she had read anything about fan theories.

Bueckers dismissed the notion of the Valkyrie being her potential destination, labeling it as a "cool" coincidence, saying:

“Lavender purple was always my favorite color. Obviously, the Valkyries latched on to that color too. It just happened to be that way. It’s funny to see everybody trying to manifest me going there. It’s all love though. It’s really funny. I laugh at a lot of it. It’s really cool.”

Paige Bueckers returns to the women's college basketball scene and is considered the No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA draft. This year, the UConn Huskies will have a squad that is healthy and aiming to do what they could not do last year: win a national championship title.
