UNCASVILLE — While the Seattle Storm headed down the tunnel from the court to their locker room an hour before tipoff Friday night, Cali Durham charged up the Mohegan Sun Arena stairs, waving precious cargo.

“I asked her to sign this,” Durham, 10, said, holding a small Pride Month poster she’d made, “and my friend, too, and she did.”

Durham was wearing one of several green-and-yellow Seattle No. 10 jerseys dotting the stands Friday night as Sue Bird, UConn legend turned WNBA legend, came to town for the second-to-last time as a pro to play the Connecticut Sun. Bird announced Thursday that this season would be her last.

The Storm, also featuring UConn alumnae Breanna Stewart and Gabby Williams, drew a solid hand as they came out for the pregame shootaround from a crowd that stretched into the upper tier of the arena.

All three Huskies products were starters. All three got applause when they were announced. Bird, called out last, drew a roar as most of the crowd of 7,088 jumped to their feet.

“Of course it means a lot,” Bird said after the game. “Especially being in Connecticut, it was kind of funny to walk out there and see so much green and yellow in the stands.”

Some of the fans wore Bird’s jersey. One, behind the scorer’s table, waved Bird’s UConn jersey. Others…

“There was a bunch of people courtside: Two guys had” — Bird chuckled — “my Sports Illustrated Swimsuit picture, like, on a T-shirt. That was hilarious.”

Bird scored 14 points in almost 28 minutes — the crowd shouted again when she hit a left-side 3-pointer in the first minute — and…

UNCASVILLE — Well over an hour before the start of Friday night’s game between the Connecticut Sun and Seattle Storm, fans flocked the tunnel adjacent to the court at Mohegan Sun Arena.

From little girls to middle-aged men, everyone eagerly waited with the hopes of an interaction with Sue Bird. Many wore her jersey. Some had on UConn gear. Others held signs honoring the star point guard, who officially announced Thursday that she’d be retiring from professional basketball at the end of this season.

Cali Durham’s eyes went wide and her face lit up as Bird signed a hand drawn poster wishing the 41-year-old a “Happy Pride Month.” The 10-year-old, wearing a green and yellow Storm No. 10 jersey, recently did a school project on Bird and has been wanting to see her play in person for a long time.

“I look up to her because she’s just one of the reasons why I feel like I can play basketball and I shouldn’t care what people think,” Durham said. “She’s just been a really big idol to me.”

A even larger group of fans formed in the same area a half hour later, again hoping to catch a glimpse of Bird. When she was announced in the Storm’s starting lineup before the game, the crowd erupted. Seattle’s other former UConn stars, Breanna Stewart and Gabby Williams, got loud cheers, too.

The stands at Mohegan Sun Arena were fuller than they’d been all season, the lower bowl packed and much of the upper deck crowded as well. A Sun…

WILKES-BARRE TWP. — A negotiated payment on court-ordered attorneys’ fees is expected to end the civil case filed six years ago over protests outside the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza.

At its regularly scheduled public meeting Wednesday, the Luzerne County Convention Center Authority, which owns the arena, agreed to pay $65,000 in attorneys’ fees for animal rights activist Silvie Pomicter and Last Chance for Animals. Pomicter and Last Chance for Animals filed suit in 2016 against the Authority and SMG, the arena management company at the time, over restrictions placed on protesters at the former Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus shows.

Donna Cupinski, chairwoman of the Authority’s 11-member appointed board, Thursday said the attorneys are working on the agreement and no payment has yet been made.

The initial amount requested was approximately $250,000, Cupinski said. It dropped to $168,000, an amount the board thought was “totally ridiculous,” with the payment not going for attorneys’ fees, but instead to the Last Chance for Animals organization, she said.

“We went back and forth to negotiate a fee,” Cupinski said. “They accepted our last offer. We’re…

Jun. 9—MOHEGAN — Much has been said (and written) about the Connecticut Sun’s recent flurry of games by both the team and outsiders.

The Sun had played nine games in 17 days. They concluded that stretch with four games in six days on the West Coast, including back-to-back games in Las Vegas and Phoenix.

Connecticut returned home to Mohegan Sun Arena on Wednesday night still a bit weary to play against the fast-paced Indiana Fever, not an ideal matchup for a team that could benefit from a slower game.

And now comes the “but”…

“We said it going into the game — nobody cares,” Sun Jonquel Jones said after an 88-69 win before 4,088 at Mohegan Sun Arena.

“Nobody cares if you didn’t sleep. Nobody cares if you have a back-to-back. … People see wins and they see losses. They don’t see all the circumstances that were behind it. So that was the main thing that we had going into that game, that no matter what (Indiana) did, there was never a feeling that we couldn’t punch them back, that we couldn’t get back into the game.”

It was the fourth straight win for the Sun (10-3). It was their 10th game in 20 days.

“It’s a unique challenge coming off the stretch that we’ve come off of,” Connecticut head coach Curt Miller said. “The challenge of your first game back is (it’s) always interesting to see what you have in the tank, and we were certainly still fatigued and tired going into this game.

“Really pleased that we came away with an important home victory tonight. Even with some fatigue and tired legs, we found a way to keep that team that plays either one or two in pace in the league and can really fly up-and-down the floor to under 20 (points) each quarter. That’s big.”
