Sun waive Fraser, Goodman

May 12—The Connecticut Sun waived rookies Brianna Fraser and Aleah Goodman on Tuesday, bringing its roster down to 12 players.

WNBA teams must cut their rosters down to at least 12 by Thursday, one day before the start of the regular season. Connecticut will carry 11 players due to salary cap constraints.

The Sun are in an unusual situation in that starting forward Alyssa Thomas will count as one of their 11 players even though she suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in January while playing overseas. She was a free agent at the time which gave her the right to be paid by any team that signed her.

Connecticut will also be without starting point guard Jasmine Thomas to start the season due to her overseas commitments. It opens at the Atlanta Dream on Friday.
