Valkyries' Kaitlyn Chen faces Dallas superstar Paige Bueckers as UConn "sisters" reunite
Briefly

The first-year player shared her feelings about her All-Star break, describing it as nice and relaxing. Following the break, she faced former UConn teammate Paige Bueckers, who is a strong Rookie of the Year contender. Bueckers is noted for her selflessness and positive disposition towards her teammates. After winning an NCAA championship in 2025, both players embarked on their professional journeys, indicating a deep bond formed during their time together at UConn and an acknowledgment of each other's contributions to their success.
"Paige is someone who is very selfless. You can see that with everything she does, on and off the court, and you can tell by the way she speaks so highly of her teammates and her coaches. She's definitely someone you want to surround yourself with."
"She's one of my sisters, so it's great to see her thrive and compete on the other end," said Bueckers, who was able to catch up with Chen at dinner on Thursday night.
