Not even KK Arnold is exempt from fangirling over Paige Bueckers. The UConn guard has expressed her excitement about seeing her former teammate play in the WNBA.
Arnold and Azzi Fudd recently attended a Dallas Wings game to support Bueckers. Arnold pretended to be nervous about approaching the WNBA star.
”Y’all I’m so scared,” Arnold joked.

The former teammates embraced, and Arnold hilariously jumped up and down with her hands over her mouth.
”I feel like a little girl in a candy shop,” Arnold said.
Bueckers came over and posed with her former UConn teammate before kissing her on the cheek. Arnold remains Bueckers’ biggest fan as the former Huskies star impresses in the WNBA.
KK Arnold hosts second consecutive basketball camp
KK Arnold is busy on the court this offseason but is serving as a coach instead of a player. The UConn guard is hosting her second consecutive youth basketball camp.
Arnold announced the exciting news of her upcoming camp on Instagram earlier this month.
“I’m so excited to give back, connect and share everything I’ve learned with YOU,” Arnold wrote in her post’s caption.

The sophomore star will host her camp on August 9 at Germantown High School in Wisconsin. Arnold will welcome female basketball players from third to 12th grade, where she will focus on teaching basketball skill techniques, sportsmanship, team building, physical conditioning, competitive scrimmages, and goal setting.
The camp costs $100 for one session or $175 for both. Each camper will receive a free camp t-shirt, a photo opportunity with Arnold, a signed autograph item, and free giveaways.
Arnold is coming off an impressive sophomore campaign, in which she appeared in 40 games for UConn and played 21.2 average minutes. She recorded 5.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game, and showed her defensive edge with 1.5 steals per game. The guard shot 47.4%.
After serving as an essential piece of the championship-winning Huskies squad, Arnold is passing on what she’s learned to the next generation of women’s basketball stars.
