The Connecticut Sun don’t plan on trading guard Marina Mabrey after she asked to be dealt earlier this month. Team president Jennifer Rizzotti told The Associated Press in a phone interview Tuesday night that it wasn’t in the franchise’s best interest to move Mabrey, whom she expects to be a big part of the team’s present and future.

The Connecticut Sun denied guard Marina Mabrey's request to be traded, a move that she asked for earlier this month. Mabrey arrived in Connecticut last summer after requesting a trade from the Chicago Sky prior to the All-Star break.
