Connecticut Sun has another player looking for out.
Marina Mabry is the newest player to request a deal from the Sun this offseason. According to Wednesday's ESPN report.
Mabrey's demands come amid a massive departure of Connecticut players.
After spending more than a decade with the Sun, Alyssa Thomas was traded for Phoenix Mercury, and in 2024 most improved players, Dehonai Carrington and Tiasha Harris, were treated to the Dallas Wings.
Dewanna Bonner signed with Indiana Fever, and Bryonna Jones went to Atlanta's dream.
As of now, Mabray is one of the remaining three players on the Connecticut team last season and has made it to the semi-finals. Forward Cait Limbickle and center Olivia Nelson Ododa are two other returners.
The Sun signed eight All-Starring Charles and former Skyguard Diamond Deshield this offseason, but even manager Stephanie White remained to do the same job as Indiana Fever, reaching the WNBA semi-finals of six consecutive wins It doesn't look like a team that did it.
Connecticut also added Natasha Cloud through trade.
If Mabrey gets her wish, this will be traded within the year she was traded for the second time.
She started the 2024 season with the Chicago Sky, but was traded for the Sun in July for two Rachel Banham and Moria Jefferson.
New Jersey native Mabry averaged 14.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and assisted 4.1 times in 4.1 games, shooting 37.3% from last season's deep, finishing seventh in the league.
With Mabrey being the latest player, this could be a long-standing call for Connecticut's awakening.
The Sun is one of the remaining three WNBA franchises that share practice facilities with people other than NBA counterparts.
They practice at the Mohegan tribal training facility when they are not at the Mohegan Sun.
During the 2024 playoffs, the Sun confused the infamous practice at her 2nd birthday party. Thomas called it “the ultimate rudeness.”
Many free agents say they prioritize their teams with strong investments from owners and first-class facilities.
The player's departure forces them to rebuild the sun.
However, it is worth noting that Liberty reached for the sun and proposed a cloud deal in exchange for New York's 2025 seventh pick and future first round picks.
