No. 1 overall draft pick Azzi Fudd reportedly will not be fined ​for complaining about the ‌officiating on Sunday.

Front Office Sports said the Dallas Wings rookie guard will avoid punishment for ‌her ​remarks following the ⁠preseason win against ⁠the Las Vegas Aces.

“Honestly, I’m more confused,” the former UConn star said when asked ​about her adjustment to the more physical WNBA. “I ⁠thought you ⁠could be physical in ​the W and anytime you ​touch someone, it’s a foul. ‌So I’m not really sure whether to be physical, whether to — I don’t know. ⁠I’m still figuring that out.”

Fudd finished the Wings’ 101-84 victory in ⁠Austin, ‌Texas, with 12 points, ⁠one assist and ​two ‌fouls in 21 minutes ​as a ⁠starter.

Dallas will open the 2026 WNBA regular season on Saturday against Caitlin Clark and the host Indiana Fever.
