🚨 HISTORIC MOVE IN THE WNBA 🚨: Dallas Wings Approve $7.6 MILLION Statue to Honor Paige Bueckers — First-Ever Active Player Immortalized in Bronze

 

ARLINGTON, TEXAS — In a stunning and unprecedented move that’s shaking the sports world, the Dallas Wings have officially approved a jaw-dropping $7.6 million statue to honor their superstar guard, Paige Bueckers, outside the College Park Center — making her the first active WNBA player ever to receive such an iconic tribute.

 

The statue, which is already in the design phase, will capture the essence of Bueckers’ electrifying style and her meteoric rise as one of the most influential athletes of her generation. Slated for unveiling in late 2025, the bronze tribute will stand tall as a symbol of inspiration, excellence, and progress for women’s sports — right at the heart of the Wings’ home arena.

 

“This is more than just a statue,” said Wings owner Bill Cameron. “It’s a monument to greatness, leadership, and cultural impact. Paige represents a new era — and she’s redefining what’s possible.”

 

At just 24, Bueckers has already earned All-Star honors, broken rookie records, and helped propel the Wings into playoff contention. Her fearless playmaking, global influence, and community activism have elevated her far beyond the hardwood. Fans, players, and media alike view her as a generational force.

 

“This is surreal,” Bueckers said at the announcement. “I’m incredibly humbled. I play for the love of the game — to now be honored like this, while still in my career, is beyond anything I imagined.”

 

The move marks a watershed moment not only for the franchise, but for the entire WNBA. It breaks barriers, redefines recognition, and signals a powerful message: greatness deserves to be celebrated — in real time.

 

From highlight reels to a statue in her honor, Paige Bueckers is proving that legends don’t have to wait.
