Coming up today: 📍 Connecticut and L.A. observations 📊 Vegas back atop power rankings 🎧 WNBA officiating deep-dive On the Ground: Heartbreak in CT, Clark in L.A.This week, Sabreena and I are checking in from the East Coast and West Coast.I was in Connecticut for the Las Vegas Aces’ two-game series against the Sun when the WNBA and NBA board of governors’ approved the sale of the Sun and their relocation from the Mohegan Tribe to Tilman J. Fertitta in a unanimous vote. Fertitta, who also owns the Houston Rockets, purchased the franchise for a record-breaking $300 million. The Sun will be rebranded as the Comets, the WNBA’s original dynasty team, which folded in 2008. Being in Uncasville, Conn., when this news broke, I can tell you fans are still reeling over this season being the franchise’s last in Connecticut. I spoke to a group of four friends who have been season ticket holders since the Sun’s 2003 inaugural season in Uncasville, and they were distrusting of the WNBA and its handling of the sale. They also felt concern for the Sun’s history and heartbreak over the loss of relationships with fellow season ticket holders they’ve sat next to for over two decades.Advertisement
