The Connecticut Sun are set to change hands.
The WNBA franchise has hired an investment bank to explore the sale of the franchise, Sportico reported on Monday afternoon. A timeline for such a sale, or who it may be sold to, remains to be seen.
Mohegan Sun, which is a subsidiary of the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority, has owned the Sun since 2002. They purchased the former Orlando Miracle team after it folded and rebranded it as the Sun by moving the franchise to Uncasville. That made the Mohegan Tribe the first Native American tribe to own a professional sports team in the United States, and the first non-NBA owner to own a WNBA team in league history.
