It seems that Connecticut Sun’s guard, Marina Mabrey, is here to stay. The veteran guard, who, according to the reports, requested an exchange last year, but saw his application denied, told journalists on Wednesday that he plans to return to Uncasville next season.
“Yes, I will return next season,” Mabrey said, according to Sun Gabby Alfveby.
Mabrey averaged 14.2 points, 4.3 assists and 4 rebounds last season. And although she was a particularly efficient shot, the 28-year-old guard shot 36.2% from the field and 27% of three-She was one of the reference options on the list.
Mabrey will keep a young reconstruction core in Connecticut
The sun, which lost almost all its rotation the low season, is freshly out of the first year of a reconstruction.
With a game to play, Connecticut ended with a record of 11-32, but saw a substantial improvement after the rookie guard Lacan joined the team in the middle of the season. They ended up winning 5 of their last 10 games, and saw mass improvements at both ends of the floor break after the stars.
Leila Lacan, Saniya Rivers and Anesah Morrow, the three rookies of the team, all the strong Year Campaigns 1. Morrow showed that it was a formidable rebounder, Rivers, an elite defender, and Lacan exactly the player who the Sun expected it to be when they selected it in 2024. The Sun also approved Aaliyah Edwards in the future seen.
Many questions continue to surround Connecticut, the main one is the future location of the franchise, which is currently on sale.
But Mabrey only answered a great question about the future of the sun: whether or not he will return for the year 2 under Rachid Meziane.
