The movie's plot revolves around the journey of two girls who make a name for themselves in the world of women's basketball as teammates. However, fame, competition and the ruthless nature of college athletics turn their friendship into an intense rivalry.

David Bernad will produce the movie under his Middle Child Pictures banner. Wasserman’s Lindsay Kagawa Colas and Tommy Alter are some other notable names involved in the production side of the project. Paige Bueckers will be the executive producer of the project.

WNBA analyst questions Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd's breakup rumors

Paige Bueckers celebrated her 24th birthday last week. However, the Wings star's girlfriend, Azzi Fudd, did not make a social media post about her girlfriend's special day. Fudd has been highly inactive on her social media account lately, but her silence on Buckers' birthday started rumors about her breakup with the Wings star.

However, WNBA analyst Trysta Krick discussed the speculation after the couple was seen together on Friday at the UConn Huskies' ring night. Krick expressed her opinions during a guest appearance on "The Daily W" show.

"At that time (UConn's media day), (asking if there was a breakup) wasn't ridiculous," Krick said in a podcast posted on Instagram on Wednesday. "We actually wanted to know from a news perspective: Have they broken up? That changes everything in terms of the WNBA draft.

"To me, (Bueckers' participation on the scout team during practice) just showed me that there's no world that they truly broke up. Because how absolutely devastating would it be if you just went through a breakup and now all through training camp and preseason and noncon(ference play), she basically just lives at UConn now."

Pagie Bueckers and Azzi Fudd are former UConn Huskies teammates who helped the college secure the 2025 NCAA championship together. They went public with their relationship in July.
