Dallas Wings guard Azzi Fudd is set to miss the rest of the season after the team said she will have arthroscopic surgery on her right knee next week in Connecticut. She has been sidelined for the past five games because of soreness in the knee.
The team said Fudd was held out of the Aug. 7 home game against Golden State after going through warmups, with the decision described as being made “out of an abundance of caution.” The soreness did not improve.
Fudd was the No. 1 overall pick this year after starring at UConn. She and Paige Bueckers won the 2025 national championship together before Bueckers was drafted by Dallas last year.
In 30 games, Fudd averaged 13.1 points and reached a season high of 26 points in a June win over Seattle. The Wings have gone 3-8 since a six-game winning streak, but they remain in position to make the playoffs for the first time since 2023.
达拉斯飞翼队状元秀阿齐·富德因膝伤将接受赛季报销手术
达拉斯飞翼队表示，后卫阿齐·富德下周将在康涅狄格州接受右膝关节镜手术，本赛季剩余比赛将全部缺席。她因膝部酸痛已经连续缺阵五场。
球队称，8月7日主场对金州队的比赛前，富德完成热身后被出于谨慎起见留在场外，但她的膝部不适并未缓解。
富德今年以状元身份被选中，此前在康涅狄格大学表现出色。她与佩奇·布克斯一起赢得了2025年全国冠军，随后布克斯在去年被达拉斯选中。
本赛季富德出战30场，场均13.1分，6月对西雅图的比赛中得到赛季最高的26分。飞翼队在一波六连胜后战绩变为3胜8负，但仍有机会自2023年以来首次进入季后赛。
