Solid effort in preseason finale Fudd recorded 12 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and one assist in 21 minutes during Sunday's 101-84 preseason win over Las Vegas.

Impact The 2026 No. 1 overall pick started alongside Paige Bueckers, the 2025 No. 1 overall pick, for a second straight preseason game. Fudd's ability to play off the ball alongside Bueckers gives Dallas a dangerous perimeter duo with familiarity from college, but roles aren't set in stone. Once Arike Ogunbowale returns, Fudd's minutes could fluctuate, but head coach Jose Fernandez clearly views the rookie as a core rotation piece early on.
