Massachusetts Governor and former Harvard basketball player Maura Healey tiptoed around the idea of poaching the Sun, when she declared Tuesday WNBA Day in Massachusetts. But, in her official proclamation, she called for the league to put a franchise in Boston. It read:

Tina Charles #31 of the Connecticut Sun drives to the basket against Aliyah Boston #7 of the Indiana Fever during the first half at the TD Garden on July 15, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. BOSTON — Despite Tuesday being a “home” game for the Connecticut Sun, it was clear the sold-out Boston crowd favored the visiting team.

Last year the Connecticut Sun made league history playing the first ever WNBA game in Boston. Now they sold out the Garden again, welcoming the Indiana Fever and the famed Caitlin Clark. The Fever beat the Sun 85-77. With the league growing in popularity, and amid reports the Sun might be sold, some leaders in Boston believe this is a no brainer.
