Connecticut Sun rookie Saniya Rivers made history on Sunday night after tallying a career-high five blocks in the loss against the Indiana Fever in overtime.

When the plan was first reported, the WNBA pushed back with a statement that said “relocation decisions are made by the WNBA Board of Governors and not by individual teams.” On Tuesday, a new report suggested that the Sun’s owners are considering options to salvage the record sale.

But newly acquired Sun guard Marina Mabrey has learned her lesson. When she arrives in Connecticut to play for the team she asked to be traded to, Mabrey will go in with an open mind.

After the latest matchup, which saw Sophie Cunningham go down with a knee injury after a collision with Bria Hartley, Mabrey was one of the Sun players who got off the bench to help the Fever guard. She also congratulated $249,244 star Kelsey Mitchell for her 38-point effort as she helped stage the Fever's 99-93 overtime comeback win.
