Aaliyah Edwards Traded to Sun, Mystics Land Jacy Sheldon, More at WNBA Deadline - Bleacher Report
The WNBA trade deadline has come and gone, and it was a busy one for two teams in particular. The Connecticut Sun acquired forward Aaliyah Edwards from the Washington Mystics for guard Jacy Sheldon. This move gives the Sun an exciting young talent in Edwards, who was the 8th overall pick in the 2021 WNBA Draft. Edwards has shown potential in her limited minutes with the Mystics, and she will have the opportunity to further develop her game with the Sun.
Acquisition of Aaliyah Edwards
The Sun were in need of a frontcourt player after losing center Brionna Jones to an ankle injury. Edwards, a 6'3" forward, will bring size and athleticism to the Sun's roster. She has shown flashes of her potential in her rookie season, averaging 3.4 points and 2.9 rebounds in just 11.9 minutes per game. With the guidance of veteran players like DeWanna Bonner and Jonquel Jones, Edwards has the opportunity to grow and make an impact for the Sun.
