Hayes played for the Connecticut Sun this past season after a decade with the Atlanta Dream
By Isabel Gonzalez • 1 min readConnecticut Sun guard and former UConn star Tiffany Hayes is officially retiring from the WNBA, she announced on Wednesday. The 2017 WNBA All-Star shared the news on the "Count Me Out" podcast.
"This right here with the Connecticut Sun was my last season," Hayes said.
Hayes averaged 12.1 points in 40 games for the Sun through the 2023 season. Before joining the Sun's roster earlier this year, she spent 10 years with the Atlanta Dream. Her resume was already impressive before being selected 14th overall in the 2012 WNBA Draft, as the Florida native won two national championships with the UConn Huskies in 2009 and 2010.

The 34-year-old is not completely leaving basketball just yet. Throughout her time as a pro, Hayes has played overseas during the WNBA offseason -- most recently with Çukurova Basketbol in Turkey. A lot of WNBA players play two seasons to make more money, but Hayes is now choosing to do just one so she can spend more time enjoying other areas of her life.
