The Connecticut Sun soon must do more with less again.
The Sun will face the Las Vegas Aces on Thursday night in Bradenton, Fla., at IMG Academy in Game 3 of their WNBA playoff semifinals. The series is tied 1-1, and the winner of Game 3 will take a giant, potentially decisive step toward the WNBA Finals.
The Sun expect to be without star forward Alyssa Thomas, who exited Game 2 due to what the team fears is a dislocated shoulder. Her injury is a blow to the Sun, whom Thomas has led in the playoffs with 4.5 assists per game and was second on the team with per-game 6.8 rebounds.
Here’s how to watch Aces versus Sun.
When: Thursday, Sept. 24, at 9:30 p.m. ET
