Connecticut Sun Completes Major WNBA Trade for Jacy Sheldon, No. 8 Pick

The Connecticut Sun have made significant roster changes, acquiring Jacy Sheldon, the No. 8 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, and players Rebecca Allen and Natasha Cloud in a four-team trade involving the Dallas Wings, Indiana Fever, and Phoenix Mercury. The Wings receive DiJonai Carrington and Ty Harris from the Sun, along with other draft picks, while the Fever and Mercury complete their respective trades with different assets. Sun General Manager Morgan Tuck expressed gratitude towards Alyssa Thomas, who was traded to Phoenix, emphasizing her impact on the team. Additionally, the Sun will trade Allen to Chicago for Lindsay Allen and the rights to Nikolina Milic, marking a significant shift as they have now lost four starters from last season. Despite these losses, the Sun aim to bolster their team with the recent acquisitions, including Sheldon, who averaged 5.4 points in her rookie season. The Wings, coming off a challenging season, continue to reshape their roster as they prepare for the upcoming draft.
