Back to EpisodesConnecticut Sun Sold, Moving to Houston
Description
The Mohegan Tribe sells the Connecticut Sun to the Tilman J. Fertitta family, moving the team to Houston. This $300 million deal, pending WNBA approval, marks the biggest sale in league history. The Sun, a powerhouse for two decades, will wrap up their final season in Connecticut this summer. The team, originally the Orlando Miracle, was saved by the Mohegan Tribe in 2003. Despite local bids to keep the team in New England, the league chose the Houston offer, reviving the Houston Comets name. The Sun, facing challenges recently, aims to finish strong this season before the move.
