UNCASVILLE — When Katie Douglas announced her retirement Friday after 14 seasons in the WNBA, her disappointment was palpable to two levels.

Douglas, who helped lead the Connecticut Sun to their only two league finals in the mid-2000s, was naturally sad that her back, which had been operated on in 2013, would force her to stop playing.

But she was also disappointed to know she wouldn't be able to finish what she helped start when she returned to the Sun before the 2014 season after six years in Indiana.
