Wings rookie Azzi Fudd to undergo right knee surgery and miss remainder of WNBA season

  • Dallas Wings guard Azzi Fudd will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on her right knee in Connecticut next week, the team announced Wednesday.
  • Fudd, who averaged 13.1 points across 30 games this season, has been sidelined for the past five games due to persistent soreness in her right knee.
  • Leading WNBA rookies in steals and made three-pointers per game, Fudd became the first rookie in league history to win the WNBA 3-point contest in July.
  • The Wings face a critical stretch after struggling to 2-7 since the All-Star break, now forced to replace Fudd's significant offensive production to secure a playoff spot.
  • Fudd won the 2025 national championship at UConn alongside Paige Bueckers but has endured a history of knee injuries, including torn ACL and meniscus damage in 2023.
