Griner Out: Sun Struggle With Injuries
30 Jul
Summary
- Brittney Griner sidelined with a left knee injury.
- Connecticut Sun have the second-worst record in WNBA.
- Team also missing Aaliyah Edwards due to knee injury.
The Connecticut Sun are looking to rebound after a challenging start to the latter half of their season. Following a loss to the Washington Mystics, the team now holds a 7-21 record, placing them second-worst in the WNBA. A primary obstacle has been keeping key player Brittney Griner healthy during her first season with the franchise.
Griner, a 10-time All-Star, has been a productive force, averaging 14.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists. However, her season has been plagued by various injuries, including recent issues with her ribs, quad, and knee. She is now ruled out against the Chicago Sky with a left knee injury, marking her third consecutive game missed.
The team will also be without Aaliyah Edwards, who is sidelined with a knee injury. Connecticut will look to Olivia Nelson-Ododa and Aneesha Morrow to fill the void. The Sun aim to end their two-game losing streak when they face the Sky in Chicago on Thursday at 8:00 p.m. ET.
