Connecticut Sun vs Washington Mystics Predicted Starting Lineups and Depth Charts for June 8 | 2025 Commissioner's Cup

On Sunday, the Connecticut Sun travel to the capital to face the Washington Mystics in the Commissioner's Cup at Care First Arena. This will be their second meeting of the season, with their first being played in the first week of the season, which the Sun lost 90-85.

Despite their early success against the Sun, Washington will enter this game during a tumultuous period. They have lost three games in a row and have one win in their last seven games. This poor run of form has seen them drop to ninth in the league and are bottom of the Commissioner's Cup standings with zero wins.

Meanwhile, the Connecticut Sun have seen a change in form. After five consecutive defeats at the start of the season, they have won two of their last three, with their latest win coming against an in-form Atlanta Dream team.

However, their poor start to the season sees them in 12th place with a 2-6 record. Nevertheless, the Sun have been competitive in the in-season tournament and are third in the table with one win and one loss.

This game holds huge significance for both teams, as a win for the Mystics will see them tie the Sun's record in the Cup. Meanwhile, a win for Connecticut will see them remain third or even top the table, depending on other results.
