​Making it into the WNBA is no small feat. But for reserve players, the real challenge often begins after they’ve made the roster—finding minutes to earn playing time while keeping their heads in the game. 
 
That’s the puzzle facing the Connecticut Sun, a franchise caught between a losing season and the promise of tomorrow. With four drafted rookies—Leila Lacan, Saniya Rivers, Aneesah Morrow and Rayah Marshall—the Sun are investing in their future, even as growing pains dominate the present.

Tina Charles is a throwback: a mature, coachable, no-nonsense basketball star who leaves it all on the court.
 
So when Connecticut Sun GM Morgan Tuck announced her signing in early February, there was no mystery about what the franchise was getting: a poised veteran with 13 years in the WNBA and international experience, still fueled by a love for the game.

The Connecticut Sun are in transition, and time is running out. With a paltry six wins, the Sun’s former winning culture is gone. September is approaching, and this team will be packing its bags for the long off-season—not a deep playoff run. 
 
Still, the front office isn’t standing pat. Just before the August 7 trade deadline, the Sun traded second-year guard Jacey Sheldon, who provided the Sun with a jolt of energy, stifling defense and a consistent outside scoring threat, to the Washington Mystics. In return, the Sun gain the inside presence of 6-foot-3 forward Aaliyah Edwards, along with the right to swap the Mystics first-round pick for the Sun’s first-round pick.

​The sale is no longer a rumor. The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority has agreed to sell the Connecticut Sun to Boston Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca for $325 million. If the WNBA approves the deal, the Sun will play one more season in Connecticut before relocating to Boston’s TD Garden in 2027.
 
Pagliuca’s plan includes building a $100 million state-of-the-art practice facility—something the franchise has never had, and former players often complained about.

​French isn’t just the language–it’s becoming the language of the Connecticut Sun. And if head coach Rachid Meziane has his way, it might soon be the dominant standard for the WNBA. 
 
When Frenchman Meziane accepted the Connecticut Sun job in early December, he had a vision of how he wanted his team to play. The swiftest way to implement his system was to recruit players he knew who already spoke his language, both literally and on the court.
