The Mohegan Tribe, owners of the WNBA's Connecticut Sun, announced Monday that they had reached an agreement to sell to the Fertitta family and relocate the team to Houston, pending approval from the W.
Once the deal goes through, it will mark the end of a 23-year run for the Sun, which played to much success in the Connecticut area. And, following one final season in 2026, it will also mean the end of the WNBA's presence in the New England region ... much to the dismay of local officials and stakeholders.
