Nothing about the past six months has been easy for the Connecticut Sun. After six straight trips to the WNBA semifinals with no championship trophies to show for them, change was inevitable.

The Connecticut Sun are looking at all options for the franchise’s future, including a potential sale, team president Jen Rizzotti said Tuesday.

The Connecticut Sun spent much of the last year emphatically denying that Mohegan Tribe ownership group was considering selling the franchise, but that narrative changed dramatically on Monday when it was reported that the team’s owners hired investment bank Allen & Company to explore a sale.
