Connecticut has many reasons to smile.
The Sun (14-6) have the league’s third-best record at the WNBA’s All-Star break, trailing the first place Seattle Storm by two games and the second place Las Vegas Aces by a game (the Sun are 2-0 vs. the latter).
“We’ve put ourselves in a good position,” Thomas said. “We’re sitting (near) the top of the league with a lot to get better at, which is a good place to be, but we don’t feel like we’ve arrived.”
Connecticut’s success is more impressive considering some of the challenges they’ve faced. It’s without point forward Alyssa Thomas this season after she tore her Achilles playing overseas in January. She s a seven-year starter who is one of the league s most well-rounded players in addition to being one of its best and fiercest defenders.
