Sophie Cunningham was helped off the court in the second quarter of Indiana’s game against the Connecticut Sun after Bria Hartley fell into her leg.

Ever since she suffered her injury on July 15, they have had a five-game winning streak, but they have also dropped games to a couple of the WNBA ’s weakest teams. Overall, they’re 7-6 since arguably the biggest star in women’s basketball sustained her groin ailment.

Connecticut was mathematically eliminated from making the playoffs on Sunday following its 99-93 overtime loss to the Indiana Fever. The Sun made eight consecutive playoff appearances from 2016 to 2024, including reaching the semifinals or better in each of the last six seasons.

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.

Relocating the Connecticut Sun to Boston seemed realistic but was never a done deal. Now, there appears to be more options for the WNBA’s New England franchise.
