Wings' Paige Bueckers to a ref: 'Do you need my glasses?' image

Paige Bueckers wasn't available to play on Sunday, a bummer for the Dallas Wings.

It did set up one of the funniest moments of their matchup with the Las Vegas Aces, though.

After one call went against Dallas, the broadcast cameras focused in on Bueckers.

On this day, in casual clothes on the bench, Bueckers was rocking some glasses.

And so, she stood up, took a few steps toward an official, and asked, "Do you need my glasses?"

Sometimes, that feels like it might be a fair question.

That was the high point of the day for the Wings, who lost by 26 to Vegas without Bueckers.

They'll just be hoping she can be back soon, because as fun as her referee interactions are when she's not on the court, Bueckers is much more fun in the game.
