Ticket Sales Surge Ahead of Paige Bueckers vs. Kaitlyn Chen Matchup originally appeared on Athlon Sports. There's been a lot of anticipation leading up to the matchup between the Dallas Wings and Golden State Valkyries on Tuesday night.

Paige Bueckers has always been supportive of Kaitlyn Chen and her UConn teammates. In fact, after the Wings made her the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 draft, Bueckers endorsed Chen and Aubrey Griffin and encouraged WNBA teams to draft them.

The Valkyries initially selected Chen with a third-round pick in the 2025 WNBA draft, although she was waived by the team before the start of the regular season. She signed with the 3x3 Basketball Association following her release, but is now back in the WNBA.
