Connecticut Sun rookie guard Saniya Rivers said that the Boston market would be an appealing spot for the WNBA franchise if they relocated.

Tina Charles added another double-double to her record and Leïla Lacan had a career-high 19 points off the bench in the Sun's loss to the Fever on Tuesday night.

The future of the Connecticut Sun is in question as the team takes to Boston to take on the Indiana Fever on Tuesday.

What's clear is that Providence would face stiff competition from Boston, where the Connecticut Sun already have an established audience.

In the moment, it appeared the fan touched Sun rookie Saniya Rivers. But after the game, Rivers said he did not touch her, but he said something that crossed a line for Rivers.

Massachusetts Governor and former Harvard basketball player Maura Healey tiptoed around the idea of poaching the Sun, when she declared Tuesday WNBA Day in Massachusetts. But, in her official proclamation, she called for the league to put a franchise in Boston. It read:

Clark had another poor shooting night in her fourth game back from injury. But she closed the fourth quarter strong to put the Sun away in a close game.

Fans traveled locally and across state lines to cheer on their respective teams, and expressed their desire for Boston to have its own WNBA team. The post ‘We definitely need a WNBA team here’: Fans celebrate Suns-Fever sellout at TD Garden appeared first on Boston.
