Cue the wedding bells! Dallas Wings’ star Maddy Siegrist just dropped some life-altering news on Instagram – and no, it’s not about her next big performance on the court. The 24-year-old took to the ‘Gram to announce her engagement to her longtime boyfriend, and, naturally, the WNBA world couldn’t contain themselves. Forget game stats – it’s all about wedding planning now!
In typical WNBA family fashion, her teammates showered her with love and emojis galore. Arike Ogunbowale, clearly feeling all the feels, posted, “My lil baby getting marriedddddd 🥹😍,” while Kalani Brown cranked up the emotional dial, writing, “My baby is a wife 😩😭❤️.” And to top it off, Satou Sabally chimed in with an excited, “WIFEEEEEYYYY😍😍.” You can practically hear the squeals of joy through the screen, right?
But wait, there’s more! Not just her teammates, but stars from across the WNBA universe hopped on the congrats train. Aaliyah Edwards and Aliyah Boston dropped some love bombs, while LA Sparks’ own Cameron Brink slid into the comments section with a heartfelt “Congrats!!!❤️❤️.” Even Indiana Fever’s Lexie Hull had a “Awwww!!! Congrats! ❤️” moment – like, it’s a WNBA reunion in that comment thread.
Now, let’s pause for a moment. Siegrist is not just making headlines with her engagement – she’s also been tearing it up on the court this season. After a quiet rookie year (blame it on those sparse eight minutes per game), 2024 saw Siegrist turn it up a notch. With over 20 minutes on the hardwood, she was averaging a solid 14.6 points per game in her first 13 appearances. Not bad for someone who had her spotlight dimmed in her debut season.
But as every athlete knows, with great success comes great finger injuries… Or something like that. A left index finger surgery sidelined Siegrist for a good chunk of the season, and her playing time took a hit when she finally returned. But the woman is nothing if not efficient – even with limited minutes, she averaged 9.4 points on a blistering 50.5% shooting.
Now the big question: Will Maddy keep scoring both on and off the court? Because while the Wings may have been knocked out of the playoffs (shoutout to that ninth-seed finish), Siegrist’s life is clearly in championship mode. Let’s just hope she gets more minutes on the court next season than she does on wedding hashtag brainstorming!
Maddy, if you need help picking out the best cake, you know the WNBA crew’s got your back – and possibly a million emoji-filled suggestions.
Stay tuned, folks. The Maddy Siegrist show is just getting started, and next season, she might just be flashing more rings – basketball and wedding ones!
