The Sun will face the Atlanta Dream on Friday night in Bradenton, Fla., in Connecticut’s last game of the 2020 WNBA regular season. Having clinched a spot in the WNBA playoffs, this game will give the Sun a chance to tune up for the postseason. The Dream will play their last game of the season Sunday before leaving the WNBA bubble.
