Mabrey appeared in Connecticut’s most recent outing — a 109-97 loss to the Dallas Wings on Tuesday — and delivered one of her stronger performances of the season. She scored 19 points on 6-for-12 shooting, including 4-for-9 from three-point range, and added four rebounds, an assist, and a steal in 28 minutes. Mabrey is averaging 14.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.2 assists through five games but is shooting just 32.5% from the field and 29.3% from beyond the arc.

Nelson-Ododa also played against the Wings, finishing with six points, five rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 25 minutes. Despite struggling from the field (1-for-5), she went 4-for-6 at the free throw line. The 24-year-old forward has been a consistent contributor this season, averaging 10.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game on 52.9% shooting.

Lacan, the No. 10 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, has yet to appear in a game this season as she fulfills prior commitments overseas.

Connecticut remains winless entering Friday’s matchup and will look to secure its first victory while managing a shorthanded rotation.
