Connecticut Sun trades DiJonai Carrington, Ty Harris to Dallas: Here's who they're getting

The roster shakeup at Connecticut Sun continues.

As part of the four-team trade that is sending Alyssa Thomas to Phoenix Mercury, the Sun announced that DiJonai Carrington and Ty Harris have been traded to Dallas Wings. The Sun will receive Jacy Sheldon (from Dallas), the No. 8 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft (from Indiana), Rebecca Allen (from Phoenix) and Natasha Cloud (from Phoenix) as a part of a four-team trade with the Dallas Wings, Indiana Fever and Phoenix Mercury.

Sheldon comes to Connecticut after playing her rookie season with the Dallas Wings. The 5-10 point guard was originally drafted fifth overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft and averaged 5.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. Prior to the WNBA, Sheldon was a standout at the Ohio State University, where she was First-Team All-Big Ten (2022, 2024), Second-Team All-Big Ten (2021), Associated Press Third-Team All-American (2024), USBWA Second-Team All-American (2024) and Big Ten All-Defensive Team (2022, 2024).

Allen returns to Connecticut after previously playing with the Sun in 2023. Allen, a native of Melbourne, Australia, was sidelined during the latter half of the 2024 WNBA season after suffering a hamstring injury in a preliminary game at the Paris Olympics with the Australian Women's National Team. Prior to the Mercury and the Sun, Allen spent seven seasons with the New York Liberty (2015-2019, 2021-22).
