As expected, the Connecticut Sun waived rookie forward Lauren Ervin to make room for center Sandrine Gruda who has joined the Sun after leading France to a 2009 Eurobasket Women's Championship title in June. The 6-foot-4 Gruda, who was drafted by the Sun in the first round (13th overall) of the 2007 WNBA Draft, averaged 15.5 points and 7.7 rebounds for France during the tournament. As a rookie with the Sun in 2008, Gruda appeared in 31 games, averaging 6.2 points and 3.5 rebounds per game. She
