Azzi Fudd has a knack for scoring points on the court and off of it. She did both with a heartwarming moment with a 15-year-old player at her Hooping for a Cure camp in Washington D.C.

The 22-year-old UConn Huskies star is coming off a national championship and quite the offseason where she went viral with a “Paige Bueckers’ girlfriend” post and then the hard launch of their relationship when Bueckers of the Dallas Wings and former UConn star confirmed it at the WNBA All-Star Game festivities last week.

Fudd also launched her podcast “Fudd Around and Find Out” in another big moment.

Despite all that and all the travel to Bueckers’ games, the future senior at UConn is still getting in work even with the camp going on:

Speaking of the camp, Fudd surprised a camper on her birthday after she flew in from Puerto Rico and missed her quinceañera to be there. In a touching moment, Fudd celebrated the girl in front of the other campers with a birthday sash and having the camp serenade her.

That’s the perfect assist and big-time points for Fudd on that one.

Well done, and hopefully that made the camper’s big day even more special.
