Ashlon Jackson - Absent from injury report Jackson is absent from the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Aces.

Aaliyah Edwards - Listed out for Wednesday Edwards (thigh) is out for Wednesday's game against the Aces.

Impact Edwards is sidelined for a third consecutive contest due a left thigh injury. Diamond Miller, who has logged at least 25 minutes in back-to-back games to open the year, appears to be the direct fantasy beneficiary of Edwards' absence.

Impact Peddy continues to manage a left knee injury, which has held her out of action since the preseason. In her absence Wednesday, Hailey Van Lith and Charlisse Leger-Walker should see more playing time in the backcourt.

Gianna Kneepkens - Sees eight minutes in loss Kneepkens finished with two points (1-2 FG), one rebound and one assist across eight minutes during Sunday's 89-82 loss to the Storm.

Impact After seeing 13 minutes on Opening Night, Kneepkens played a muted role off the bench Sunday -- Connecticut's first game was a lopsided defeat. The No. 15 overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft, Kneepkens is currently facing an uphill battle for playing time.

Olivia Nelson-Ododa - Plays 12 minutes in loss Nelson-Ododa registered five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal over 12 minutes during Sunday's 89-82 loss to Seattle.

Impact For the second game in a row to open the season, Nelson-Ododa played a muted role off the bench. Through the opening pair of games, she's averaging 13.5 minutes per contest with 3.0 points, 2.0 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 0.5 blocks.

Saniya Rivers - Struggles with shot Rivers finished Sunday's 89-82 loss to the Storm with two points (1-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and three assists in 20 minutes.

Impact Rivers has seen plenty of run to open the season for the Sun, but her production has left a lot to be desired. Through two games, she's shooting 21.4 percent from the field with averages of 3.5 points, 4.5 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 0.5 blocks in 22.5 minutes per contest.

Ashlon Jackson - Doesn't suit up Sunday Jackson (coach's decision) was inactive for Sunday's 89-82 loss to the Storm.

Impact Jackson wasn't listed on the injury report ahead of Connecticut's regular-season-opening loss to the Liberty on Friday. However, the rookie was not available Sunday as the Sun managed her availability while signed to a developmental contract. Her next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Aces.

Kennedy Burke - Dishes out five assists in defeat Burke closed Sunday's 89-82 loss to Seattle with 12 points (3-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 34 minutes.

Impact Burke didn't deliver her most efficient performance Sunday and has shot just 26.3 percent from the floor through two regular-season games. However, the 29-year-old forward still finished as one of four Sun players to score in double figures, and she also made an impact on the glass. Additionally, she led the team in assists and blocks. Burke will likely continue to play a sizable role for Connecticut, though Aaliyah Edwards' (thigh) eventual return could eat into Burke's minutes.

Brittney Griner - Strikes for 16 points in defeat Griner finished Sunday's 89-82 loss to the Storm with 16 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and two steals across 28 minutes.

Impact Griner dropped 10 points on efficient shooting in the first half but shot just 1-for-4 from the field in the second. Still, the veteran center led the first unit in points and finished as Connecticut's second-leading scorer. The 35-year-old also paced the Sun in steals. She figures to continue playing a steady role for Connecticut following a lackluster 2025 campaign with Atlanta, and she has now scored double-digit points in back-to-back outings to begin the 2026 regular season.

Aneesah Morrow - Double-doubles in loss Morrow amassed 17 points (7-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 89-82 loss to the Storm.

Impact Morrow started Friday's regular-season-opening loss to the Liberty but retreated to the second unit Sunday. The second-year forward shot 7-for-15 from the field for a second straight game and finished with a game-high-tying 17 points, a mark she reached just twice in 2025. The 23-year-old also led all players in rebounds and knocked down a team-best three triples, an encouraging sign after she shot 1-for-5 from downtown Friday. It's unclear whether she'll remain in a bench role, but Morrow should continue to play significant minutes, especially if Aaliyah Edwards (thigh) remains out for an extended period.

Aneesah Morrow - Won't start Sunday Morrow won't start Sunday's game against the Storm, Emily Adams of the Hartford Courant reports.

Impact Morrow started Friday's loss to the Liberty but will slide to the second unit in favor of Charlisse Leger-Walker. Morrow posted 15 points (7-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six rebounds and one steal in 24 minutes Friday.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Charlisse Leger-Walker - Confirmed starter Sunday Leger-Walker is in the Sun's starting lineup against the Storm on Sunday.

Impact As noted by Emily Adams of the Hartford Courant earlier in the day, Leger-Walker will move into the starting lineup and replace Aneesah Morrow. Leger-Walker played 21 minutes in her WNBA regular-season debut against the Liberty on Friday, finishing with four points, two rebounds and one assist.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Charlisse Leger-Walker - Could start vs. Seattle Sun head coach Rachid Meziane told reporters that Leger-Walker may start at point guard against the Storm on Sunday, Emily Adams of the Hartford Courant reports.

Impact Meziane noted that the team is going to go away from having Snaiya Rivers serving as the point guard, though it's unclear whether that means the latter will come off the bench in Sunday's matinee. Leger-Walker made her WNBA regular-season debut during Friday's 106-75 loss to the Liberty, when she played 21 minutes and finished with four points (2-9 FT, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds and one assist.
