CON C #31

7dTina Charles had her fourth double-double of the season during Tuesday night’s 85-77 loss to Fever amassing 21 points (7-of-19 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), 11 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 34 minutes of play.

Charles fueled the Sun in a hard-fought loss to the Fever. While her shot diet wasn’t the most efficient, she scored the basketball in a variety of places. She scored getting advantageous positioning in the paint, she hit mid-range jumpers in between the low and high posts and around the nail. Her teammates in Bria Hartley, Jacy Sheldon and Olivia Nelson-Ododa found her right at her sweet spots. Also Charles hauled down over 27 percent of her team’s total rebounds, successfully using her length and strength to box out the Fever’s front court in Aliyah Boston, Natasha Howard and Damiris Dantas. When the Fever took quick shots and didn’t crash the glass, Charles was often there to secure the ball. The veteran also was a secondary facilitator, racking up three assists on a backdoor cut to rookie Leïla Lacan, in transition to Lindsay Allen and on a high-low pass to rookie Aneesah Morrow.

CON G #3

28dMarina Mabrey (knee) will miss at least 2-4 weeks, per an announcement from the Sun.

Mabrey suffered a left knee injury during Connecticut’s June 20 game against Dallas, with the issue keeping her out of Sunday’s loss to Golden State. Tuesday afternoon, the Sun announced that she’ll miss at least 2-4 weeks. Bria Hartley started against the Valkyries and will likely retain that spot until Mabrey returns, while Lindsay Allen should also pick up additional playing time.

CON G #3

30dMarina Mabrey (knee) is out for Sunday’s game against the Valkyries.

Initially questionable with a left knee injury, Mabrey will sit out the first game of Connecticut’s road trip. Her absence leaves a sizable hole in the Sun starting lineup, as the veteran guard is one of two players averaging double figures in scoring. While Bria Hartley has started games this season, Lindsay Allen is another possibility to fill the void left by Mabrey.

CON G #3

1moMarina Mabrey (knee) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Valkyries.

Due to a left knee injury, Mabrey is not guaranteed to be available for the first game of Connecticut’s road trip. If she cannot play, that would be a significant loss for the Sun to deal with, as the veteran guard is the team’s second-leading scorer. Either Bria Hartley or Lindsay Allen would likely move into the starting lineup if Mabrey sits.

CON G #15

1moLindsay Allen (Achilles) went scoreless (0-of-3 FGs) with one assist in Sunday’s loss to the Sky.

Allen made her season debut Sunday afternoon, serving as Bria Hartley’s backup. Due to the amount of time missed, Allen’s lack of production and playing time aren’t surprising. Hartley played 27 minutes on Sunday, finishing with six points, three rebounds, five assists and two steals. Given how busy the Sun will be next week, as they play four games, Allen’s playing time may not increase much as she works her way back from Achilles and hamstring injuries.

CON G #15

1moLindsay Allen (Achilles) is available for Sunday’s game against the Sky.

Allen is officially available to make her season debut, giving the Sun much-needed depth at point guard. Bria Hartley has served as the starter recently, but her production has not been consistent enough to impact most fantasy leagues. Allen’s availability means Hartley’s playing time will decrease, even if she remains in the starting lineup on Sunday.

CON G #15

1moLindsay Allen (Achilles) is probable for Sunday’s game against the Sky.

At long last, Allen is on track to make her season debut. The veteran point guard has missed time with hamstring and Achilles tendon injuries. Bria Hartley has shouldered the point guard responsibilities recently due to Allen’s absence, and her playing time will likely take a significant hit. Rostered in just over four percent of ESPN fantasy leagues, Hartley’s production has not been consistent enough to merit being slotted into lineups.

CON G #15

1moLindsay Allen (Achilles) is out for Sunday’s game against the Mystics.

Allen will miss another game due to injury, this time because of a sore left Achilles tendon. Bria Hartley will remain in the starting lineup, but the biggest beneficiary from Allen’s absence has been Marina Mabrey. The basketball has been in her hands even more with Allen out, with the veteran guard most recently scoring 34 points in Friday’s win over the Dream.

CON G #15

1moLindsay Allen (Achilles) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Mystics.

While her previous absences have been due to a hamstring injury, Allen is now on the injury report due to her right Achilles tendon. Veteran point guard Bria Hartley started Friday’s win over the Dream, but Allen’s absence has also resulted in more playmaking opportunities for Marina Mabrey. Given Mabrey’s scoring prowess, as she dropped a season-high 34 points on Atlanta, her fantasy ceiling has been raised the most by Allen’s absence.

CON G #14

2moBria Hartley accumulated six points (2-of-5 FGs), three rebounds, three assists, two steals and two three-pointers in Friday’s win over the Fever.

After starting Jacy Sheldon in Tuesday’s loss to the Wings due to Lindsay Allen (hamstring) being out, Sun head coach Rachid Meziane decided to go with a true point guard on Friday. While Hartley’s stat line did not jump off the page, the veteran point guard did not commit any turnovers and was one blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Sheldon played 16 minutes off the bench, finishing with four points (2-of-3 FGs) and one steal. Hartley is not a must-add player in fantasy leagues, even deeper formats, but she’s worth tracking as long as Allen remains out.
