Game Preview

The Connecticut Sun face a quick recovery period, while the Seattle Storm aim to rectify some recent substandard performances when they clash Sunday afternoon in Uncasville, Conn. This game initiates a two-game series and an East Coast trip for Seattle (19-12), who recently suffered a 98-85 defeat at home to the New York Liberty.

Seattle’s issues were highlighted in a fourth-quarter letdown on Friday, contributing to a 2-4 record post-Olympic break, with notable losses to lower-ranked Atlanta Dream and Washington Mystics.

Seattle’s guard Skylar Diggins-Smith emphasized the league’s competitive nature post-break, stating, "The games only get tougher, and readiness from the get-go is crucial, or you risk defeat in every match."

Diggins-Smith, along with Jewell Loyd, who leads the team with an average of 20.4 points per game, are key contributors for the Storm.

On the other hand, the Connecticut Sun (23-8) might be dealing with fatigue, playing approximately 20 hours after their 96-85 victory over Washington on Saturday, where they completed a season sweep.

Connecticut’s lineup may miss Alyssa Thomas, who exited Saturday’s game in the second quarter following a collision. Although she returned to the bench, she was rested for the game’s remainder, a strategic move potentially influenced by the consecutive game days.

Connecticut coach Stephanie White has been conscientious about player workload, reflecting on the importance of managing time on court to maintain player effectiveness.

The Storm previously secured a 72-61 victory over the Sun in their first encounter this season on June 23.
