If you thought the offseason was a quiet time for WNBA teams, the Connecticut Sun just proved you wrong with a side-splitting and hilariously petty schedule reveal for the 2025 season. In true Sun fashion, the team delivered their calendar with a heaping dose of creativity, wit, and, let’s be honest, shade hotter than mid-July.
The Sun unveiled their schedule via a parody weather forecast, complete with fake meteorological reports for each WNBA city. While the forecasts were clearly meant for laughs, they didn’t hold back from sprinkling a little sass—especially aimed at league heavyweights like the Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty.
To cap off the hilarity, Sun star DiJonai Carrington made a surprise cameo as a deadpan news anchor alongside the team’s mascot, Blaze. Because why not turn a simple schedule release into a mini sitcom?
WNBA Fans React: “The Pettiness Levels Have Risen!”
As expected, fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice their approval of the Sun’s spicy announcement. One user gleefully tweeted:
“Pettiness continues northeast!! 😂😂😂”
Another couldn’t resist speculating about Carrington’s involvement:
“I was wondering if @DijonaiVictoria wrote this and then she popped up at the end. I’m here for it.”
Then there were those who simply admired the effort:
“How Carrington hasn’t won a Peabody is baffling. CT Sun Times’ most trusted source!”
Of course, the recurring theme in the replies was appreciation for the Sun’s ability to throw some lighthearted shade while keeping things playful.
“Sun bringing the Heat with some lite shade ‘weather’ you like it or not lol 😆,” joked one fan.
Another added:
“Everyone is clocking NY 😂😂😂 It’s either this or the Sky that will take the crown for this shade cuz WNBA started early this season.”
Connecticut Sun: A Season of Redemption?
The Sun may not have claimed a WNBA title yet, but they came tantalizingly close in 2024. With a 28-12 record and a trip to the semifinals, they’re determined to go further in 2025.
Connecticut kicks off their campaign against the Washington Mystics on May 18, and from there, it’s a packed schedule featuring plenty of must-watch matchups:
- Las Vegas Aces: Home clashes on May 20 and July 6 promise sparks to fly after last season’s heated encounters.
- New York Liberty: With games on August 1 and 3 at home, expect more fireworks—on and off the court.
- Minnesota Lynx: Circle August 30 when the Sun aim to avenge their playoff exit at the hands of the Lynx.
The 2025 WNBA season is shaping up to be a thrilling ride, and if the Sun’s off-court antics are anything to go by, fans are in for a stormy season—pun intended.
So, grab your popcorn and buckle up because if Connecticut keeps up this level of creativity, their next title might just be for “Best Supporting Performance” in a sports comedy.
