The Connecticut Sun will spend their final season before relocation outside of the WNBA playoff picture.<\/p>\n
The Sun were eliminated from playoff contention Saturday night following a loss to the New York Liberty.<\/p>\n
Here’s a look at the projected playoff bracket and updated WNBA standings now that the Sun are officially out of contention.<\/p>\n
x- clinched, e- eliminated<\/p>\n
The Sun made it to the semifinals for six straight years between 2019 and 2024, a span that included two trips to the WNBA Finals but no title wins.<\/p>\n
Connecticut was hoping to shake things up after another semifinal loss in 2024 by hiring head coach Rachid Meziane to replace Stephanie White.<\/p>\n
The Sun have now fallen short of the playoffs in two seasons under Meziane, going 11-33 last season before parting ways with 10 players from the 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n
After losing Brittney Griner to a knee injury down the stretch, the Sun are at risk of finishing with a lower wins total in the franchise’s last season before relocating to Houston.<\/p>\n
The franchise will hope to turn things around under new ownership before tipping off the 2027 season in Texas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Connecticut Sun will spend their final season before relocation outside of the WNBA playoff picture.
