Uncasville, CT (April 18, 2026) – Today, Connecticut Sun General Manager Morgan Tuck and Head Coach Rachid Meziane finalized the 2026 training camp roster. The team will begin training camp on Sunday, April 19 in Uncasville, CT.

Ten-time WNBA All-Star, two-time WNBA Defensive Player of the Year, and 2014 WNBA Champion Britney Griner makes her debut to the Sun for the 2026 season, after signing with the team as a free agent in April. Griner began her WNBA career as the No. 1 overall pick by the Phoenix Mercury, playing 11 seasons with the team. Griner spent the 2025 season with the Atlanta Dream before finding her home with the Sun. Returners from the Sun’s 2025 squad include Leïla Lacan, Saniya Rivers, Aneesah Morrow, Migna Touré, Aaliyah Edwards, and four-year center Olivia Nelson-Ododa. Edwards will appear in her first training camp with the Sun this season, as she was acquired by the team midway through the 2025 regular season, and Touré will make her first appearance at Connecticut’s training camp.

Diamond Miller and Kennedy Burke will attend their first Sun training camp this year. Burke signed with the Sun as a free agent on April 12, while Miller was acquired by Connecticut on April 9 in a trade with the Dallas Wings. Madison Hayes returns to Connecticut for her second training camp appearance after joining the Sun in 2025.

The Sun’s 2026 WNBA draftees Nell Angloma (No. 12 pick), Gianna Kneepkens (No. 15 pick), Charlisse Leger-Walker (No. 18 pick), and Taylor Bigby (No. 37 pick) will be in attendance.
