Promising debut for Saniya Rivers in Sun's loss against Aces
UNCASVILLE, Conn. ― Saniya Rivers’ WNBA debut was one of the lone bright spots in the Sun’s 87-62 loss to the Las Vegas Aces on Tuesday.
Rivers had 11 points, two steals, two assists and a block in 25 minutes, playing the majority of the second half as Las Vegas broke the game open midway through the second quarter.
“I have to make the most of my minutes,” Rivers said after the game. “I haven’t really been around the team, I didn’t have much time to prepare -- but I took advantage of the time that I did have. I just leaned on my teammates, on my vets and they really instilled a lot of confidence in me (and) a lot of knowledge.”
Rivers flashed her infectious smile throughout the game, reflecting the positive energy that had been poured into her since being drafted by the Sun with the No. 8 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft less than two months ago.
