With the deal she'll make more in year one than her first four WNBA seasons. 💰👀
•
UConn star Paige Bueckers has signed a three-year deal with Unrivaled, just days before the 2025 WNBA Draft. Casual. 🤷♀️
•
Sources told ESPN that Bueckers will earn more in the first year of her three-year contract with Unrivaled than the maximum value of the entire four-year contract she is entitled to if she is taken with the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft. 🏀

What's more? Bueckers isn't just playing; she's investing. She previously signed a Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deal with Unrivaled during her collegiate career at UConn, granting her equity in the league.
