Paige Bueckers Grabs Attention Before WNBA Return originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

WNBA rookie Paige Bueckers is back in the Dallas Wings' lineup after missing four games. Bueckers was out due to the league's concussion protocol. Following that, she had an illness that didn't allow her to play.

On Wednesday, the 2025 No. 1 pick and her team will face the Phoenix Mercury to try and win their first game in the Commissioner's Cup. The Wings are on a five-game losing streak and have a 1-9 record to start the season. The new campaign hasn't been easy for Dallas.

Fortunately for the fans, Bueckers is showing a positive sign of what they can expect from her in the game. Ahead of the contest, the former UConn star displayed a no-look free throw during shootaround.

During shootaround, the fan favorite rookie had a bit of time to showboat from the charity stripe.
