What happened
Dallas Wings rookie Azzi Fudd scored her first career WNBA points on a 3-pointer in Saturday's season opener against the Indiana Fever. The basket came in Fudd's league debut weeks after Dallas selected her No. 1 overall.
Why it matters
The shot is an early milestone for one of the league's highest-profile rookies and part of Dallas' new-look backcourt rollout with Paige Bueckers and Arike Ogunbowale. It also adds to the spotlight on a nationally televised opener against Caitlin Clark and Indiana as the WNBA regular season begins.
The data edge
Fudd was the 2026 No. 1 overall pick by Dallas. In her debut against Indiana, she made her first field goal on a 3-pointer and finished 1-for-2 from the field in 18 minutes, with 1 rebound and 1 steal. The opener featured four recent No. 1 picks: Azzi Fudd, Paige Bueckers, Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston.
What to watch
Watch how large Fudd's rotation role remains alongside Bueckers and Ogunbowale in Dallas' early games. Her shooting volume and late-game minutes will be the next indicators of how quickly the Wings expand her workload.
