The Connecticut Sun is embracing a bold new path that could take them to the Unrivaled Playoffs in 2026. With two rising stars at the helm—including Marina Mabrey and Aaliyah Edwards—fans and analysts alike are speculating about their impact on women’s basketball.

Former tennis champion Chris Evert has criticized the lack of sportsmanship in women’s basketball after Caitlin Clark was knocked down by Marina Mabrey, calling it “a bad look for the sport.”

Marina Mabrey, shooting guard for the Connecticut Sun, has come forward to support Dallas Wings’ DiJonai Carrington, who has faced social media trolling after reportedly committing her third infraction to lead the WNBA. The incident has sparked discussions about online harassment in professional sports.
