Star Game has a lot to live up to. Last year, the WNBA All-Stars beat the U.S. national team 117-109 in Phoenix, a matchup that helped prepare the Americans for their run to an eighth consecutive Olympic gold medal.

That wasn't the only WNBA first Bueckers accomplished. The 2025 No. 1 overall pick also hit the first-ever four-point shot in All-Star Game history 28 seconds into the first quarter — it came on her very first shot, to boot. Though the Wings are just 6-17 this season, Bueckers has been the lone bright spot for the team.
