Connecticut Sun Criticizes WNBA Promotion

DiJonai Carrington criticized the WNBA for inadequate promotion of the Connecticut Sun's historic game at Boston's TD Garden, which drew a franchise-record sellout crowd of 19,125. Carrington felt the game deserved national television coverage instead of being limited to WNBA League Pass or live stream. The Sun secured a 69-61 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks, fueled by a 14-0 run in the final minutes, with Carrington scoring a game-high 19 points. The event marked the third-highest attended WNBA game this season and showcased the growing popularity of women's basketball. Despite logistical challenges, the game provided an opportunity for the Sun to expand their footprint in New England, and the enthusiastic crowd created a memorable atmosphere.
