UConn basketball star Paige Bueckers recently showed her continued support for former teammate Aaliyah Edwards through a short but sweet social media interaction. After Edwards shared a series of fun and lighthearted photos from the national championship game on her Instagram, Bueckers responded with a two-word comment: “My twin.” The affectionate message highlighted the close bond between the two athletes, a connection that goes beyond the basketball court.
Aaliyah Edwards, who played a significant role in UConn’s recent seasons, has since moved on to the WNBA, where she was selected sixth overall in the 2024 draft by the Washington Mystics. Her personality and energy were on full display in the snaps, capturing behind-the-scenes moments that reflected the joy and camaraderie of the national title experience. Bueckers, still a key presence for the Huskies, didn’t hesitate to join in the celebration from afar, reaffirming the tight-knit culture that UConn women’s basketball is known for.
This isn’t the first time Paige Bueckers has shown public support for her former teammates. At the 2024 WNBA Draft, she was seen cheering enthusiastically for Edwards and Nika Mühl, recording videos and offering her heartfelt congratulations. The moment even drew attention from WNBA star Aliyah Boston, who joked that Bueckers was acting like a proud mother.
These interactions between Bueckers and her former teammates show just how strong their relationships remain, even after college. They continue to support each other through major milestones, celebrating each other’s successes and maintaining the sisterhood they built at UConn.
