  • Hartley, who has not played in the WNBA since 2022 due to two ACL injuries, is competing for a spot on the Sun's final 12-player roster.
  • The Sun currently have 16 players in camp and must make four cuts before the season opener, with an additional cut required once rookie guard Leila Lacan arrives from France.
