BREAKING NEWS: PAIGE BUECKERS MAKES HISTORY WITH RECORD-BREAKING…
Hartford, CT – In a move that is set to send shockwaves throughout the WNBA, Paige Bueckers has signed a record-breaking contract extension with the Connecticut Sun. The deal, which is reportedly worth a whopping $1.5 million per year, makes Bueckers the highest-paid player in WNBA history.
Bueckers, who was drafted by the Sun with the first overall pick in the 2022 WNBA Draft, has quickly established herself as one of the most dominant players in the league. The 21-year-old point guard has averaged 18.5 points, 7.5 assists, and 5.5 rebounds per game over her first two seasons in the WNBA.
The contract extension is a testament to Bueckers’ hard work and dedication to her craft. “Paige is a once-in-a-generation talent, and we are thrilled to have her committed to the Connecticut Sun for the long haul,” said Sun General Manager, Amber Cox.
Bueckers’ impact on the Sun has been immediate. In her rookie season, she led the team to the WNBA Finals, where they ultimately fell short against the Las Vegas Aces. However, with Bueckers at the helm, the Sun are expected to be a perennial championship contender for years to come.
The contract extension also includes a number of endorsement opportunities and community outreach initiatives. Bueckers has been an outspoken advocate for women’s rights and social justice, and the Sun organization is committed to supporting her efforts.
Bueckers’ agent, Lindsay Kagawa Colas, praised the Sun organization for their commitment to her client. “Paige is a trailblazer, and she deserves to be compensated as such,” Colas said. “We are thrilled to have reached a deal that reflects her value to the team and the league.”
The news of Bueckers’ contract extension sent shockwaves throughout the sports world, with many of her peers and fans taking to social media to congratulate her. “Paige is an inspiration to us all, and she deserves every penny of this deal,” tweeted WNBA legend, Diana Taurasi.
Bueckers is expected to speak to the media about her contract extension at a press conference later today. The Connecticut Sun will also be hosting a special ceremony to celebrate the occasion.
As the WNBA continues to grow in popularity, Bueckers’ contract extension is a significant milestone for the league. It demonstrates the commitment of teams to compensating their players fairly and reflects the growing recognition of the talent and dedication of WNBA players.
