The Connecticut Sun will remain without one of their biggest stars as they attempt to end a difficult losing streak Thursday night. Connecticut officially ruled Brittney Griner out of its road matchup against the Chicago Sky because of a left knee injury. It will be the third consecutive game missed by the veteran center, who has been one of the Sun's most productive players when healthy this season.
Griner's status was not the only news to emerge from Connecticut's final availability report. Shortly before the game, the Sun announced that rookie guard Ashlon Jackson also would not be available because of a coach's decision.
The two absences leave Connecticut shorthanded for an important meeting between teams searching for momentum near the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings.
Griner has not appeared in a game since Connecticut faced the Phoenix Mercury on July 19. The 10-time WNBA All-Star finished that matchup with 19 points, five rebounds and two blocked shots in 31 minutes. She has now been sidelined for three straight contests while dealing with the left knee injury.
