Despite Leger-Walker's career-high 17, Sun fall to Golden State in final home game before Cup break

Connecticut Sun head coach Rachid Meziane criticized his team's performance in a recent game against Golden State Valkyries, stating that the team lacked respect for themselves and started the game without good energy. The Sun fell to Golden State 89-64 in a game that was one of their worst losses in terms of effort. The Sun, who are currently in second-to-last place in the standings and have already been eliminated from the playoffs, will soon take a two-and-a-half-week break for the World Cup, allowing them to focus on developing their younger players.

Star player Leila Lacan, who was absent due to participation in the World Cup, was a significant loss for the team, and Meziane acknowledged the need to fill the void she left. Despite the absence of Lacan, Leger-Walker stepped up and had a career-high 17 points, along with four assists and three rebounds, leading the offense.
