Dallas Wings vs Connecticut Sun Injury Report
The Connecticut Sun will be without Tiffany Mitchell and DiJonai Carrington, while Olivia Nelson-Ododa is questionable with a foot injury. Satou Sabally is probable to make her season debut for the Wings. Jaelyn Brown is probable despite an illness. Maddy Siegrist is doubtful due to a finger injury.
Dallas Wings vs Connecticut Sun Prediction
The Connecticut Sun should be favored for obvious reasons, as they’ve been comfortably the better team this season, and they’re fighting for a top 2 seed. The Dallas Wings have been the bottom feeders of the WNBA all year. However, the Wings are getting a massive boost with the return of Satou Sabally, who looked sharp in the Olympics. Siegrist looks like she still needs a little more time, but the Wings will be as close to full strength as they’ve been all year. A 1-2 punch of Ogunbowale and Sabally is dangerous and only 4 games out of the last playoff spot, the Wings will be a team to watch down the stretch, as crazy as that sounds. Give me the Wings and the points. The talent is back for an upset, and the College Park Center should be rocking.

The AGANORSA Leaf Aniversario Connecticut is now available in a new vitola, one that also comes in a metal tube.
It’s the second different toro for the line, though it will be difficult to confuse the two cigars. The AGANORSA Leaf Aniversario Connecticut Toro, the existing cigar, is a 6 1/4 x 52 box-pressed toro. The new AGANORSA Leaf Aniversario Connecticut Tubo is a 6 x 52 round toro. Blend-wise, the line uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed wrapper over Nicaraguan tobaccos grown by AGANORSA. The line is made at the company’s factory in Nicaragua.
The AGANORSA Leaf Aniversario Connecticut Tubo has an MSRP of $19.99 and comes in boxes of 10 cigars.
“The Aniversario Connecticut Tubo offers a perfect combination of elegance, convenience, and flavor,” said Terence Reilly, vp of sales & marketing for AGANORSA Leaf, in a press release when the cigar was announced in March. “It’s an ideal cigar for both longtime fans of the brand and smokers discovering Aganorsa for the first time.”
