Overview

  • Connecticut announced Sunday that Hartley will miss the final five games after tearing the meniscus in her right knee during practice.
  • Hartley missed Saturday’s loss to the Lynx after the injury and was on the bench using crutches, according to local reporting.
  • The team says she is expected to make a full recovery from the meniscus tear.
  • In her comeback season, the 32-year-old started most games and averaged 8.9 points and 3.1 assists while shooting 36.7% from three as the Sun’s fourth-leading scorer.
  • Her setback follows prior right and left ACL tears in 2020 and 2022 and comes during a recent run of season-ending injuries to WNBA guards reported across the league.
