Connecticut Sun announces opening day roster
Today, the Connecticut Sun announced that the team has finalized its opening day roster.
The 2024 roster has six returners from the 2023 season including the WNBA’s all-time leader in triple-doubles and 2023 All-WNBA First Team member, Alyssa Thomas, five-time WNBA All-Star DeWanna Bonner and two-time WNBA All-Star Brionna Jones. Guard-forward DiJonai Carrington is back for her fourth season in Connecticut, along with guard Tyasha Harris and center Olivia Nelson-Ododa who will suit up for their second seasons with the Sun.
Connecticut also welcomes key roster pieces by way of off-season trades and free agency including eight-year veteran guard Rachel Banham, who spent her first four seasons in the WNBA with the Sun from 2016-2019. Guards Moriah Jefferson and Tiffany Mitchell and forwards Astou Ndour-Fall and Queen Egbo, also join the Sun for the first time this season.
