The Washington Mystics traded Aaliyah Edwards to the Connecticut Sun for Jacy Sheldon and the ability to swap first-round picks in 2026. The Mystics are in rebuilding mode and have recently made other trades, including sending Brittney Sykes for Alysha Clark and a 2026 first-round pick. Edwards, a UConn alum and sixth overall pick in 2024, averaged 7.0 points and 4.7 rebounds in 18.5 minutes per game but saw her playing time decrease this season. The Sun view Edwards as a key piece in building a championship culture.
"Bringing Aaliyah to the Connecticut Sun is more than just a roster move; it's a statement about where we're headed as a franchise," said Sun general manager Morgan Tuck. "Aaliyah is a transformational talent with the mindset and drive that aligns with our vision of building a championship culture. What truly sets her apart is the way she leads, connects, and competes. Aaliyah is the kind of person and player who can help redefine the future of this organization and we're ready to build that future together."
