The Connecticut Sun hold a singular place in this league's history as the first independently owned WNBA franchise. That was never a small thing. It was proof — tangible, undeniable proof — that when a community believes in something, that belief is never wasted.
GO SUN!
You showed up, season after season, and in doing so, you helped transform women's professional basketball from a question into a certainty. That legacy does not relocate. It stays here.
That part is understood, even if it is not easy to accept. For the fans in CT and all over New England, I hope you know what you built. You were not simply supporters of a team — you were pioneers of a movement.

The Connecticut Sun news carries both weight and meaning in equal measure. For the W, a presence in a larger media market represents a necessary step toward the visibility and sustainability that women's basketball deserves — and has long been working to secure.

Great man and terrific coach - all the best in semi-retirement @coachthibault as I know you can’t be away from the game! Congrats to coach @ET_hoops who will be amazing in his own right! @WashMystics@WNBA

@CourtMWilliams@CBSSports@CourtMWilliams has never been afraid to be who she is, a lesson we can all learn from. Don’t hide behind fear or what is deemed acceptable - create your own path and flourish. Don’t be like Mike - be like Courtney! @CBSSports
@bobmja@WFAN660@HowieRose Bobby H! Wow how the time flies by! There will never be anyone quite like you again - all the best to you and yours and remember, there is nothing like a fine Pilsner to celebrate a job well done! See you soon!
E - so glad I traded you :) and then rejoin you. You are not just an amazing athlete but a person with integrity, honor and unflappable values. You will continue to impress on/off the court and I am excited to watch you thrive! @E_Williams_1@WashMystics@WNBA@NickiCollen
Everyone knows I don’t share my story much, but my first free agency is important to explain. Here’s how I got to choosing the @WashMystics
