Former UConn guard Kelly Faris cut by Connecticut Sun

Former UConn guard Kelly Faris was one of two players waived by the Connecticut Sun as the roster needs to be down to the WNBA maximum 12 players by 5 p.m. today.

Faris was a first-round pick of Connecticut in 2013 who appeared in 112 games during her four seasons with the team making 12 starts.

Faris averaged 2.1 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.7 assists in her time with the Sun.

Former DePaul guard Jessica January, who was taken by Connecticut in the third round of the 2017 WNBA Draft, was also cut.

Although the roster on the WNBA site currently has the Sun with 12 active players, recent signee Adaora Elonu is not included on the roster.
