Connecticut heads into Thursday’s matchup looking to build on its latest win over the Phoenix Mercury, which snapped the Sun’s five-game losing streak.

The Sun have only one player listed on their injury report, with Griner designated as questionable because of a left knee injury. Her status puts her in danger of missing her first game since returning from a four-game absence in Friday’s win over Phoenix.

The knee trouble is the latest concern for the two-time Defensive Player of the Year, with the initial injury occurring around the middle to latter part of July.

Griner has been one of Connecticut’s most reliable scoring options this season. The 35-year-old leads the Sun in scoring average, posting 13.6 points per game through 17 appearances. She has also contributed 5.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per contest.

Aaliyah Edwards was the leading contributor for the Sun in that game, finishing with 14 points and eight rebounds off the bench. Kennedy Burke also played an important role, adding 15 points and two rebounds.

With the losing streak now behind them, the Sun will look to make it back-to-back victories when they take on an Atlanta team that has enjoyed a far more successful campaign.
