Instagram has dropped a new episode of its “Close Friends Only” series, spotlighting WNBA All-Star Paige Bueckers and her former UConn teammate Azzi Fudd. The two engage in a candid, lighthearted conversation covering everything from who has the better jump shot to how they use Instagram’s Close Friends feature to stay connected.
