TAMPA, FLA., June 29, 2016 – Courtney Williams has made a move to familiar territory, after the Phoenix Mercury traded the rookie to the Connecticut Sun Saturday.
“We are excited about acquiring both Courtney and Jillian (Alleyne),” Connecticut Sun head coach Curt Miller said. “This gives us two more young pieces as we build around our young nucleus. Courtney was a dynamic scorer at the collegiate level and brings an athleticism at the guard position that is needed on our roster.”
Williams is familiar with the Connecticut’s home arena, playing in four conference tournaments in Uncasville, Conn.
