With the loss to Indiana, Connecticut dropped to 6-27 on the 2025 WNBA season and was officially eliminated from playoff contention. The Sun still have 11 regular-season games left, but the current No. 8 seed, the Seattle Storm, hold 11 more wins at 17-18 and own the head-to-head tiebreaker with a 3-1 record. This puts Connecticut out of reach.

WNBA Rookie Has Strong Words for Indiana Fever on Thursday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever are looking to bounce back from an unfortunate loss.
