The Connecticut Sun spent much of the last year emphatically denying that Mohegan Tribe ownership group was considering selling the franchise, but that narrative changed dramatically on Monday when it was reported that the team’s owners hired investment bank Allen & Company to explore a sale.

The WNBA franchise has hired an investment bank to explore the sale of the franchise, Sportico reported Monday afternoon. A timeline for such a sale, or who it may be sold to, remains to be seen. According to the report, however, relocation of the franchise is likely.
