Connecticut Sun at TD Garden

After a historic sell-out a season ago, the Connecticut Sun will return to TD Garden, home of the Boston Celtics and Boston Bruins, to host the Indiana Fever on Tuesday, July 15.

Connecticut defeated the Los Angeles Sparks, 69-61, in the game and will look to stay undefeated in Boston in 2025.
