Connecticut Sun ownership to present sale options to WNBA

A WNBA analyst lashed out at the league for the handling of Caitlin Clark and the Connecticut Sun situation. On Tuesday, Trenni Casey from NBC Boston appeared as a guest on NBC Sports.
A record deal to an ownership group would seemingly be a coup for the WNBA — the last WNBA team to have a standalone majority sale was the Atlanta Dream in 2021 for less than $10 million — but the Sun relocating under Pagliuca’s watch appears to be facing some resistance.
The board will “provide strategic guidance on player initiatives, and elevate the overall player experience,” according to the team’s announcement.
The trailer also showcased other cross-league moments. It included Tyrese Haliburton setting up Clark for a 3-pointer, and Dallas rookies Paige Bueckers and Cooper Flagg celebrating. Luka Doncic and Brittney Griner also exchanged high-fives in it, while A’ja Wilson threw a lob to Bam Adebayo.
Shaquille O’Neal’s daughter, Me’arah O’Neal, is in the middle of preparations for the 2025-26 NCAA season. She joined the Florida Gators women’s basketball team after a visit to the campus convinced her it was the right move for her collegiate career, helping the team to a 19-18 (5-11 in conference) record in her freshman season.
Front Office Sports added another wrinkle, reporting that the WNBA possibly wants part of the action of the transaction.
The Fever are 2-1 vs. the Sun in 2025. Indiana beat Connecticut 88-71 on June 17 in a game that featured altercations involving Indiana's Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham, and Connecticut's Jacy Sheldon (since traded), Marina Mabrey, Tina Charles and Lindsay Allen.
