Connecticut Sun to Relocate to Houston: A New Era Begins
The Connecticut Sun has been sold to Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta for a record $300 million, with plans to relocate to Houston in 2027 and revive the Comets name. The WNBA Board of Governors must approve the sale and move, but the team will play one final season in Connecticut next year. Sun president Jen Rizzotti expressed mixed feelings, focusing on delivering a memorable last run at home and thanking supporters. A Boston group offered more money, but the league prioritized expansion processes in other cities and favored owners with NBA connections. With free agency looming and a new collective bargaining agreement demanding top facilities, Houston is ready to build a strong team around the young core and kick off a new era.
