Paige Bueckers is all about results, but sometimes those results aren't all about her.

In a video shared by Bleacher Report on May 1, Bueckers, who is beloved for her online antics as much as she is for her on the court prowess, completely crashes out after she misses a shot during training camp. One second she's shooting the ball, and the next she's on the floor.

According to Bleacher Report, the moment happened during a team shooting competition. 

Other than that, it seems training camp is going well for the rookie. To the delight of fans and her teammates alike, Bueckers shared official Wings photos on Instagram on April 30. She captioned the carousel of images, "Howdy🤠."

The 6'0' guard left a mighty legacy at UConn, and she's made it clear that she's never going to forget the school and program where she celebrated so many incredible moments. In April she shared a moving message to her fans and family at the school.

“These past five years have been some of the most rewarding, challenging and blessed years of my life," she began. "From the relationships that will last a lifetime, memories and experiences I’ll never forget, and a growing in Faith that has changed my life. The support and love has meant everything to me and I wouldn’t have been able to make it through without it."

"From all my sisters that I played with, to everyone in the program, you are all family for life," Bueckers concluded.

The Dallas Wings will play the team's first preseason game against the Las Vegas Aces on Friday, May 2, at Notre Dame's Purcell Pavilion. The team's opening game will be at home against the Minnesota Lynx on May 16.
