On Monday, the Connecticut Sun added another piece to their roster as they prepare for the upcoming WNBA campaign.
The Sun officially welcomed Jocelyn Willoughby into the fold via a training camp contract.
“We are pleased to welcome Jocelyn Willoughby to Connecticut,” said Taylor. “She was a first round talent that has been hampered early in her career by injuries. Now that she’s healthy, we look forward to seeing how she can help our depth on the wing.”
Willoughby was originally drafted 10th overall in the 2020 WNBA Draft by the Phoenix Mercury and was then acquired by the New York Liberty in a draft-day trade.
Willoughby played three seasons with the New York Liberty from 2020-2023, missing the 2021 season with a torn Achilles. Over 62 career games, Willoughby has averaged 3.1 points and 1.5 rebounds per contest.
This offseason, Willoughby is playing overseas in Australia’s WNBL with Adelaide, averaging 13.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.
This move marks another step in the franchise’s preparation for the 2024 campaign, which kicks off against the Indiana Fever at Mohegan Sun Arena on May 14th.
