Kyrie Irving's daughter looks all grown-up in Paige Bueckers' jersey at Wings game

In this story:
With Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark set to compete against Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers for the first time in the WNBA on June 27, the highly-anticipated matchup was moved to the American Airlines Arena.
Sitting courtside to watch the Fever-Wings showdown on Thursday night, Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving and his nine-year-old daughter, Azuri.
While Clark, the 2024 No. 1 overall pick and Rookie of the Year winner didn't play, Irving and his eldest child made it clear they were they to support Bueckers, the 2025 No. 1 overall pick.

Fas couldn't believe how grown up Azuri looked and commented on how she has the same smile as her 33-year-old father. Azuri's mother is Andrea Wilson, a former Miss Texas United States.
Irving rarely posts about his private life on Instagram, however, fans got a rare glimpse of Azuri at the 2025 NBA All-Star game in February.

On deciding to bring his daughter to San Francisco, Irving explained to Mavericks reporter Eddie Sefko, "I was talking to her earlier on the phone and asking her do you remember your first All-Star Game? She was a little baby. And now that she’s nine, she’s able to have these memories etched in her brain a little better.”
