Sun end Connecticut run with win over Tempo before Houston move

The Connecticut Sun closed their 23-year run in Connecticut with a 95-81 win over the Toronto Tempo, ending the 2026 season at 11-33 without a playoff berth. Rookie Ashlon Jackson led the Sun with a career-high 18 points, including five 3-pointers, while Raegan Beers added a career-best 17 points and eight rebounds. The farewell drew a standing ovation from fans, as the franchise prepares to relocate to Houston and become the Comets in 2027. Though the team’s four WNBA Finals appearances ended without a championship, its years of sustained contention and close-knit identity were celebrated as a lasting part of its legacy.
