Here's the answer: Azzi is still undecided. Here's what we do know.
She told reporters Saturday that she's still deciding whether to declare for the WNBA draft or return to UConn for another season. Her decision bears watching because head coach Geno Auriemma said he prefers to have an answer about whether a player will be there next season before the transfer portal opens . (The portal typically opens around mid-March.)
However, he knows she's not great at making decisions. "I heard coach mention I am not a great decision-maker, and I stand by that," Azzi recently said with a smile . Returning to the Huskies wouldn't be out of the realm. When asked about the WNBA ahead of the 2023 season, Azzi confidently said , "Why would I want to leave the basketball capital of the world?"
UPDATE: Per ESPN's Alexa Philippou, Azzi Fudd is returning to UConn for one more year, allowing her to "work on everything [she needs] to work on" before potentially turning pro.
