WNBA sensation Paige Bueckers isn’t just lighting up the court — she’s heading to Hollywood. The Dallas Wings guard will star in and executive produce Jess & Pearl, a women’s basketball drama from Scandal writer Zahir McGhee. Developed by Apple Original Films, the movie follows two standout athletes whose close friendship as teammates is tested when fame, fierce competition, and the cutthroat world of college sports turn them from friends into rivals.
