The Connecticut Sun may be staring at a brutal frontcourt problem before Saturday's matchup with the New York Liberty. Connecticut listed Brittney Griner as questionable because of a lingering left knee injury. Forward Aaliyah Edwards also received a questionable designation with a left ankle injury.
Losing either player would be damaging. Losing both against Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones and a surging Liberty team could leave the Sun facing one of their most difficult challenges of the season.
Connecticut will host New York at 1 p.m. ET on Saturday at Mohegan Sun Arena. The Sun enter the game at 8-24 after suffering their sixth loss in seven games, while the Liberty have won eight of their last 10.
Griner has been dealing with the knee issue for nearly a month. The 35-year-old center sustained the injury during Connecticut's 72-63 loss to the Phoenix Mercury on July 19. She played 31 minutes before exiting and subsequently missed four consecutive games.
