Updated Aug 30, 12:31 AM CDTRivers remains a core creator for Connecticut
Saniya Rivers played a team-high 31.4 minutes in Friday's loss to Indiana, finishing with nine points, five assists and a steal. She started, handled a substantial share of the creation and returned for the final minute even after the game had moved out of reach. The workload reinforces her place as one of Connecticut's core perimeter players rather than signaling a temporary bump. Kennedy Burke and Leila Lacan remain away on national-team duty, so Rivers and Charlisse Leger-Walker should continue leading the backcourt against Dallas. A competitive game gives Rivers another clear path to roughly 30 minutes and closing responsibility.
