It was a newsy day in the @unrivaledwbb.bsky.social world, with plenty of #WNBA CBA talk, too. Our @gabbyalfveby.bsky.social runs it all down for you: www.thenexthoops.com/features/unr...

Leïla Lacan has officially arrived, and is already making a significant impact. @gabbyalfveby.bsky.social discusses how the rookie guard is helping elevate the Connecticut Sun:

How do folks in Connecticut feel about the potential sale of the Sun? @gabbyalfveby.bsky.social breaks it down www.thenexthoops.com/features/con...

Travel has never been easy from Uncasville, Conn., but charter flights have made a big difference this year. Our @gabbyalfveby.bsky.social writes about how this new policy has benefited the players and their families:

It’s OFFICIAL!!! I will be attending my first ever WNBA All-Star Weekend this year in Indianapolis, Indiana 🥳 I’m extremely grateful to be able to have this opportunity and I will be on the ground covering the eventful weekend for @thenext.bsky.social

With losses piling up for the Connecticut Sun, our @gabbyalfveby.bsky.social asks: what would it take to replicate the success of the WNBA newcomer Valkyries?

A fun one here from @gabbyalfveby.bsky.social, who wrote about Alyssa Thomas and her return to Uncasville to take on her former team.

“They [are] both bosses. They both want to be in control of everything.” (@thenext.bsky.social) More on the Sun’s star duo: www.thenexthoops.com/wnba/connect...

UPDATE: Today Lindsay Allen was participating in the open viewing part of practice. This is good news for the Sun! Olivia Nelson-Ododa was watching from the sidelines and Saniya Rivers is notably absent. Allen and ONO have been listed as Questionable on the injury report @thenext.bsky.social

Connecticut Sun rookie Aneesah Morrow’s hard work and determination make her poised for greatness in the WNBA. Sun beat writer @gabbyalfveby.bsky.social has more on Morrow's early days in the league.

The WNBA wasn’t really Sun guard Saniya Rivers’ dream as a kid but she did it for her family and now more specifically, for her mom. “… Especially when my mom passed, I was like, ‘Oh, I gotta do this thing now, this is what she wanted for me.’ This is her dream for me.” @thenext.bsky.social

Just 16 days after being drafted, Saniya Rivers's mother passed away. Our @gabbyalfveby.bsky.social breaks down the strong support system around Rivers and how the rookie guard is now playing with a refined motivation.

Could it be the last #WNBA season at Mohegan Sun Arena? @gabbyalfveby.bsky.social hears from Sun players about their experiences playing at Mohegan.

CT Sun rookie, Rayah Marshall is getting ready to make her WNBA debut today @thenext.bsky.social

Sun News: The Connecticut Sun announced today that they officially sold out of season ticket memberships. This is the FIRST time in franchise history that they have sold out of these memberships, with a 40% increase in sales from last season, despite the recent ownership and investment news.

The Connecticut Sun are entering a new era with Rachid Meziane as head coach. However, their goal of making the #WNBA playoffs remains the same. @gabbyalfveby.bsky.social previews the Sun's season.

Yesterday at training camp I asked Sun guard Diamond DeShields if she had a timetable for her return from a right ankle injury. She told me, “It should only be a couple of weeks. So hopefully, hopefully by the first game, but we'll see. I gotta get back in shape.” @thenext.bsky.social

After 12 seasons away, Tina Charles is heading back home to Connecticut. From @gabbyalfveby.bsky.social www.thenexthoops.com/features/tin...

It's been a dizzying week for the Connecticut Sun, as all five starters from 2024 are headed elsewhere. Our beat reporter @gabbyalfveby.bsky.social breaks down who has left and who is coming to Uncasville (for now): www.thenexthoops.com/features/con...
