Won't return in 2025 The Sun announced Sunday that Hartley will miss the remainder of the 2025 campaign due to a meniscus tear in her right knee.

Impact Hartley sustained the knee injury during a recent practice and is expected to make a full recovery. The 32-year-old guard returned to the WNBA after suffering a torn ACL in July 2022 and playing overseas for Avenida in Spain in 2023-24. Over 38 regular-season games (32 starts) with Connecticut in 2025, she averaged 8.9 points, 3.1 assists and 2.0 rebounds while shooting 36.2 percent from the field across 22.8 minutes per game. Lindsay Allen, Saniya Rivers and Mamignan Toure are candidates for increased minutes with Hartley sidelined for the remainder of the season.
