About the Connecticut Sun

The Connecticut Sun are perennial WNBA contenders who have reached the Finals three times (2004, 2005, 2019) without winning a championship — one of the most compelling near-miss stories in the league's history. The Sun play at Mohegan Sun Arena, located inside the massive Mohegan Sun casino resort in Uncasville, Connecticut. The intimate 9,323-seat venue is known for one of the loudest and most passionate atmospheres in the WNBA, with fans sitting incredibly close to the court. Alyssa Thomas, the team's do-everything power forward, is widely considered the best player in franchise history — a relentless rebounder and defender who has spent her entire WNBA career in Connecticut. The Sun have consistently competed at the top of the Eastern Conference despite operating in a smaller market, a testament to exceptional team-building and coaching. Coach Stephanie White, who previously built Indiana into a contender, took over in 2024.
