Wings rookie Azzi Fudd joins globe-trotting Project B


Azzi Fudd, the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft in April, will play in Project B this offseason, she announced on social media Friday.

The Dallas Wings rookie joins No. 3 pick Awa Fam as part of the new 5-on-5 league that will play all over the world from November to April.

So far about a dozen players have said they will be playing in Project B, headlined by Nneka Ogwumike, Alyssa Thomas, Jonquel Jones, Jewell Loyd and Kelsey Mitchell. Many young players from around the world are expected to play in the league as well.

Project B will feature six teams with 11 players that will compete in seven two-week tournaments across the globe in Europe, Asia and the Americas.

Valencia, Spain, and Tokyo have been announced as two of the cities that will host the new league. Tokyo will have games from March 25 to April 4.

Host Broadcast Services, the broadcaster of the FIFA World Cup, will be the league’s production partner. It plans to stream all games.

According to Project B, women’s players will receive larger salaries than those currently offered by the WNBA. Fudd is making $500,000 as the No. 1 pick. The former UConn star had an NIL deal with Unrivaled, but that was only for college.

Fudd is averaging 12.7 points per game while shooting 50.7% from the field for the Wings.
