The Connecticut Sun got down to the 11-player limit by waiving second-round pick Lyndra Littles, second-year forward Danielle Page and undrafted rookie Carrem Gay.

The Sun chose to keep guards Kristi Cirone and Kiesha Brown as well as forward/center Lauren Ervin.

The moves are a bit surprising considering the strong play of Page and Littles in the final preseason game. The feeling was that one of the guards (Brown and Cirone) would be among the cuts but Connecticut coach Mike Thibault does love his guards. When you look at the caliber of player available on the waiver wire, it will be interesting to see if the current roster of Asjha Jones, Lindsay Whalen, Tamika Whitmore, Erin Phillips, Chante Black, Amber Holt, Kerri Gardin, Barbara Turner, Cirone, Brown and Ervin will the one that takes the floor tomorrow for the season opener against Washington.

Two more players will have to go when Sandrine Gruda and Anete Jekabsone-Zogota join the team following the Euro
