On the NBA side, Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown made an appearance pregame during the Sun’s block party on Canal St. During the game, he sat courtside along with Celtics teammate Georges Niang and a pair of Boston Bruins and Boston Red Sox players.

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

The Indiana Fever and Connecticut Sun played before a sold-out TD Garden on Tuesday, the second year in a row the WNBA has filled the arena to capacity for a regular season game. Fever guard Sophie Cunningham is hoping Boston hosts more games in the future.

Fans sold out TD Garden for a highly anticipated WNBA game between the Connecticut Sun and the Indiana Fever Tuesday night. A lot of families and young basketball players were excited to see their role models hit the parquet.

There is a full slate of WNBA games on Wednesday, July 16 and that includes the Indiana Fever visiting the New York Liberty at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. in one of the last games before the All-Star Break.

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.

Last time the Connecticut Sun played in Boston, Stephanie White led them to victory. On Tuesday, she returns as coach of the Indiana Fever.
