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.
By the numbers: 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.
