Ever since she suffered her injury on July 15, they have had a five-game winning streak, but they have also dropped games to a couple of the WNBA ’s weakest teams. Overall, they’re 7-6 since arguably the biggest star in women’s basketball sustained her groin injury.

Connecticut’s Bria Harley and Chicago’s Rebecca Allen each received ejections for starting the scuffle, while the Sky’s Ariel Atkins’ night ended early “for being an escalator” after shoving Hartley and touching a referee, according to crew chief Angelia Suffern as reported by ESPN.

Having fun was the key to success for the Connecticut Sun’s young core as it led the team to victory over the Chicago Sky on Wednesday.

After Friday’s loss, Dallas has a record of 9-25. The Wings have the third-worst record in the WNBA, ahead of only the Chicago Sky (8-25) and the Connecticut Sun (6-26).

Despite having their worst season in recent years, three rookies — Saniya Rivers, Aneesah Morrow, and Leila Lacan — should have the Sun feeling good.
