WNBA Franchise Cuts Ties With Former Champion Amid Roster Moves

Second-year WNBA forward Caitlin Bickle has once again become a free agent.

The Connecticut Sun announced Thursday it waived Bickle along with rookie center Kamila Borkowska. Bickle, who joined the Sun on a training camp contract in 2025, was set to enter her second season with the club.

Bickle joined the Sun for the first time on a training camp contract in April 2023. The team waived her before the start of the 2023 regular season.

Then last year, Bickle re-joined the club on a seven-day contract in July. She signed another seven-day contract in August.

On the short-term deals, Bickle appeared in eight games for the Sun last season. She played 15 minutes and didn't score, missing all three of her 3-point attempts.

Bickle played a lot more in college with the Baylor Bears. During her fifth-year at Baylor in 2022-23, she averaged a career-best 11.9 points and 7.1 rebounds per game.

She started all 30 of her games that season. Baylor advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament that spring.

During her freshman season, Baylor won the national championship in 2018-19.

Baylor posted a 37-1 record in Bickle's freshman season when the team won the national championship. Bickle posted two points and 1.1 rebounds while playing in 28 contests.

Like Bickle, Borkowska, a Poland native, also went undrafted in her class this spring. She signed a training camp contract with the Sun on February 24.

The Sun released both players a day prior to the team facing the New York Liberty in their second preseason game Friday.

Bickle and Borkowska combined to play eight minutes in the team's preseason opener Sunday. Neither player scored a point.
