"I think the market here itself is just going to be better for a women’s basketball program," said Sun guard Saniya Rivers.

Connecticut Sun rookie guard Saniya Rivers said that the Boston market would be an appealing spot for the WNBA franchise if they relocated.

Healey praised the Sun for bringing so many figures from so many corners of sports and business together in the name of women’s sports.

Boston was honored at the State House Monday ahead of her game Tuesday night at TD Garden when the Indiana Fever play the Connecticut Sun. She went from playing high school basketball at Worcester Academy to becoming the number one pick in the WNBA.

The Indiana Fever are heading into the All-Star break playing good basketball. With Caitlin Clark back in the mix, they’ve won two straight games by a combined 36 points and are gaining confidence at the perfect time. One player who's stepped up during the streak? Sophie Cunningham.

As Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever​ prepare to take on the Connecticut Sun at the TD Garden, Gov. Healey says Boston should have a WNBA team.

I love Connecticut, it’s fine, but I think the marketing here itself is just going to be better for a women’s basketball program and I think we can make a lot of noise here starting tonight, so I’m just excited to be a part of it.

The hip-hop collective enthralled a full house with a relentless, nearly two-hour set of the band’s greatest hits and various members’ best-known solo tracks.
