Your game inspires a lot of people and we’re proud to have you with us. It’s going to be a fun ride with this team. Welcome to Fanatics," Brady said in a video.

Fanatics executive vice president Victor Shaffer explained why Bueckers fits their brand and what she can do to help the company grow.

“Paige represents the future of women’s basketball, and we’re thrilled to bring fans closer to her and her remarkable journey through this exclusive partnership,” Shaffer said. “Fanatics is proud to celebrate the incredible moments from throughout her career and work closely together as she builds a legacy that extends far beyond the basketball court.”
