Azzi Fudd still undecided on return to UConn or turning pro - ESPN

STORRS, Conn. — UConn star guard Azzi Fudd has yet to decide whether she will return to UConn next season or go pro, she told reporters Saturday.

Fudd — along with fellow seniors Paige Bueckers, Aubrey Griffin and Kaitlyn Chen — will walk as part of the Huskies' senior day ceremony Sunday when the team faces Marquette for its final regular-season game at Gampel Pavilion.

The 5-foot-11 guard and No. 1 overall recruit out of high school has dealt with injuries throughout her UConn career, appearing in just 66 games over four years, but when healthy has shown promise as a potential first-round WNBA pick. She is averaging 12.8 points per game with a 45.9% clip from the 3-point arc in 24 games this season, bursting onto the scene with a 28-point outing at then-No. 4 South Carolina in February.

«When you're playing in the basketball capital of the world, there's so much to look forward to, so much every single day. Whether it's in practice, games, you've got the best fans coming to watch, best coaches, best teammates, so it's still a lot of fun,» Fudd said of playing at UConn.

In 2024, players had until April 1 to declare for the WNBA draft unless they were playing in the Elite Eight or Final Four, in which case they
