The Connecticut Sun trade forward Aneesah Morrow to the Toronto Tempo ahead of the WNBA trade deadline. Multiple reports say the deal sends Morrow from Connecticut to Toronto in exchange for Toronto receiving the rights to Maria Kliundikova, along with a second-round pick in 2028.
The Athletic reports that Morrow was selected as the seventh overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, establishing her as a first-round contributor entering the league. Yahoo Sports, citing ESPN WNBA insider Alexa Philippou, describes the trade as the first major agreement close to the deadline and details the return package Toronto receives.
Taken together, the reporting is consistent on the key elements: Morrow is moving from the Sun to the Tempo, Maria Kliundikova’s rights are included in the transaction, and a 2028 second-round draft pick is part of the compensation. The articles do not provide additional context on contractual terms or the teams’ strategic rationale beyond the reported trade package and timing.
