Front Office Sports said the Dallas Wings rookie guard will avoid punishment for her remarks following the preseason win against the Las Vegas Aces.
"Honestly, I'm more confused," the former UConn star said when asked about her adjustment to the more physical WNBA. "I thought you could be physical in the W and anytime you touch someone, it's a foul. So I'm not really sure whether to be physical, whether to -- I don't know. I'm still figuring that out."
Fudd finished the Wings' 101-84 victory in Austin, Texas, with 12 points, one assist and two fouls in 21 minutes as a starter.
Dallas will open the 2026 WNBA regular season on Saturday against Caitlin Clark and the host Indiana Fever.
