Connecticut Sun expresses interest in Betnijah Laney-Hamilton before trade deadline

The New York Liberty's Betnijah Laney-Hamilton is reportedly a trade candidate ahead of the August 2 deadline. Laney-Hamilton has struggled for playing time after returning from a meniscus tear and has averaged 4.7 points over 16.8 minutes per game this season. The Connecticut Sun, with available salary cap space, is considering a swap involving forward Aneesah Morrow, who is having a strong season. Should a trade occur, Laney-Hamilton would likely see increased minutes and a veteran role in Connecticut.
