The Connecticut Suns have made it to the WNBA Finals four seasons since their franchise's inception in 1999 as the Orlando Miracle. The Sun lost to Napheesa Collier's Minnesota Lynx during the WNBA Semifinals last time, sending a message to the team's fans that the franchise is serious about competing for championships.

The Connecticut Sun are exploring financial scenarios, including a possible sale. Could the state lose its only professional sports franchise?

The Mohegan Sun ownership group has reportedly hired investment bank Allen & Co. to explore selling the Connecticut Sun amid WNBA expansion.
