The Connecticut Sun has announced the re-signing of Olivia Nelson-Ododa, a former standout at the University of Connecticut, to a two-year contract. This decision comes as the team prepares for its final season in Uncasville, Connecticut, before relocating to Houston, Texas, in 2027 after being sold to Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta. Nelson-Ododa, a 6-foot-5 center, began her WNBA career with the Los Angeles Sparks before joining the Sun in January 2023. In the 2025 season, she had her most productive year, averaging 8.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game. General manager Morgan Tuck expressed confidence in Nelson-Ododa's growth and potential, emphasizing her importance to the team's identity. The Sun now has eight players under contract for the upcoming season, including 10-time All-Star Brittney Griner and newly acquired forward Diamond Miller.
