WNBAs Connecticut Sun to Move to Houston: A New Era Begins The WNBAs Connecticut Sun has been sold to Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta for $300 million, marking the teams move to Houston starting next season. The deal, approved by the leagues boards of governors, follows an agreement made in March. The Sun will complete their current schedule in Connecticut, with a few games in Hartford and Boston, before transitioning to Houston. Sun president Jen Rizzotti emphasized the focus on a strong finish this season and the potential benefits of the Rockets resources and infrastructure for the team under the new collective bargaining agreement. The team, originally from Orlando, has roots with the Mohegan Tribe, who bought it in 2003 and moved it to Connecticut. Early talks between Sun staff and the Rockets group are underway, with current team members having the option to relocate to Houston.
