Charles will join Marina Mabrey and Natasha Cloud as the core of the team. The Sun lost all five starters from last season's squad through free agency or trades. Brionna Jones and DeWanna Bonner left to Atlanta and Indiana, respectively, via free agency. The Sun traded DiJonai Carrington and Ty Harris to Dallas. Alyssa Thomas was traded to Phoenix.

Former UConn star Tina Charles signed a one-year deal with the Connecticut Sun for 2025, returning to the franchise that drafted her in 2010.

Charles, 36, spent the first four years of her career with the Sun, who selected her No. 1 overall in the 2010 draft out of UConn. She has since become the WNBA's all-time leading rebounder.

The roster shakeup at Connecticut Sun continues. As part of the four-team trade that is sending Alyssa Thomas to Phoenix Mercury, the Sun announced that DiJonai Carrington and Ty Harris have been traded to Dallas Wings.

One of the best to ever lace 'em up in Scarlet and Gray just saw her dreams come true. Ohio State guard, Jacy Sheldon, has been drafted by the Dallas Wings with the No. 5 overall pick in the WNBA Draft.

The Connecticut Sun have agreed to trade DiJonai Carrington and the No. 12 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft to the Dallas Wings in exchange for Jacy Sheldon and the No. 8 pick, according to Rachel Galligan.
