The Connecticut Sun ended their 2025 WNBA season with a record of 12 wins and 32 losses, resulting in a winning percentage of .273. This marks the worst single-season win percentage in the history of the franchise
Their slide to this low point was neither brief nor sudden. The year began with an entirely restructured roster and a new head coach, Rachid Meziane, who had no prior WNBA head coaching experience.The overhaul was extreme: all five starters from the 2024 squad were gone, leaving the team to rebuild almost from scratch. Early losses piled up; at one point, they were 3‑17, a brutal stretch that set the tone
Among the most painful moments was a record 48‑point loss to the New York Liberty. That was the worst margin of defeat in franchise history and one of the most lopsided in WNBA history. The team also endured a 10‑game losing streak, the longest in Sun history.
There were bright spots in the season despite the struggles. Veterans like Tina Charles still produced—Charles broke the Sun’s single‑season scoring record, finishing with 700 points. Rookies and newcomers like Marina Mabrey, Saniya Rivers, and Aneesah Morrow had individual games worth noting. Morrow in particular showed promise with multiple double‑doubles.
But the cumulative result was rough: the Sun missed the playoffs for the first time in nine yearAt 12‑32, they finished 11th out of 13 teams in the league
In summary, this season will be remembered as a rebuilding year, one marked by deep losses, roster turnover, and low expectations as the organization attempted to reset. While the performance was historically bad for the Sun, it seems the front office is viewing it as a foundation from which to rebuild.
If you want, I can give you more detail on what went wrong (strategy, player performance, injuries, etc.), or compare this season to past low points to see how this one ranks.
