The Sun will play their final season this summer, and then relocate in time for the 2027 campaign next summer.
It marks the first time that a WNBA team has been based in the city since the Houston Comets. That franchise, one of the original teams in the league, played there from 1997-2008 and won the first four WNBA titles.
