Connecticut Sun Clinch 2024 Playoff Berth
The Connecticut Sun clinched a berth to the 2024 WNBA Playoffs with a win today against the New York Liberty and a loss today by the Indiana Fever. This sends the Sun to the WNBA postseason for the eighth consecutive season, the longest active streak in the WNBA. Â
Connecticut enters 2024 playoff action coming off their 2023 WNBA Semifinals run a season ago. The Sun defeated the Minnesota Lynx, 2-1, in the first round, but ultimately fell to the New York Liberty, 3-1, in the semifinal series. Alyssa Thomas added to her league leading postseason triple-double record, notching her third career postseason triple-double with 17 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists in Game 4 of the WNBA Semifinals.
Fifteen-year league veteran DeWanna Bonner enters the 2024 postseason fourth all-time in scoring (1,079), fourth all-time in rebounding (538), sixth all-time in three-pointers made (94) and third all-time in games played (80) in WNBA postseason history. Logging minutes in at least two postseason contests this year would put Bonner first all-time in postseason games played in league history (tied with Lindsay Whalen).
The Connecticut Sun are 40-41 all-time in postseason play and have not been eliminated earlier than the Semifinals since the 2018 season.
Established in 2003, the Connecticut Sun is a professional women’s basketball team in the Women’s National Basketball Association that takes residence at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT. For additional information or to purchase season tickets, visit www.connecticutsun.com.Â
