Paige Bueckers Joins an Elite Panini Roster
Paige Bueckers joins fellow basketball stars Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese in partnering with Panini America. Her accolades include the 2020-21 Naismith Award, Wooden Award and AP Player of the Year. A two-time All-American and Big East Player of the Year, she remains a dominant force in the 2024-25 season, keeping UConn in contention for a national championship.
A Star on and off the Court
Through three games this season, Bueckers is averaging 21.3 points, 4.0 assists, 3.7 rebounds, and 3.0 steals per game, shooting a remarkable 65% from the field and 50% from 3-point range. Her consistency under relentless defensive pressure cements her position as a frontrunner for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA draft, likely landing her with the Dallas Wings.
A Collectible Dream Come True
Bueckers expressed excitement about the partnership, reflecting on her childhood love for trading cards. “To know that my teammates and I will have our own Panini trading cards and that fans are going to collect it is really special,” she told Bleacher Report. This collaboration offers fans a unique way to celebrate the game and honor Bueckers’ illustrious career.
