History

Historical Context

In 2003 Orlando Miracle were sold to Mohegan Sun casino and moved to Uncasville, becoming Connecticut Sun—league’s first franchise relocation, alongside Utah Starzz’s move to San Antonio. The Sun swept Charlotte Sting 2-0 before being swept 0-2 by Detroit Shock in the playoffs. The pattern continued when Tulsa Shock became Dallas Wings in 2015 and San Antonio Stars turned into Las Vegas Aces in 2018.
