Overview

• The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority, owners of the Connecticut Sun since 2003, has engaged Allen & Company to explore selling the WNBA franchise.
• A full control sale of the team, potentially leading to relocation from Connecticut, is considered the most probable scenario.
• The Sun are valued at $80 million, reflecting the surge in WNBA franchise valuations during a period of league expansion and growth.
• The lack of a dedicated practice facility has drawn criticism from players and highlighted resource disparities compared to other franchises.
• The Sun's entire starting lineup and head coach departed during the offseason, signaling challenges in maintaining competitiveness without significant investment.
