Lacan, who turns 22 next week, had been on a contract suspension due to her overseas obligations. She recently led her French club Basket Landes to a league championship and was named Finals MVP.
The Sun's first-round pick (10th overall) in 2024, Lacan averaged 10.4 points, 3.7 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 2.2 steals in 25 games (15 starts) in her first season with Connecticut in 2024.
Van Lith, 24, averaged 8.1 points and 2.2 assists and shot 47.1% from 3-point range in nine games (three starts) with Connecticut (1-8).
A first-round pick by Chicago (11th overall) in 2025, Van Lith was waived by the Sky on May 4 and signed with the Sun two days later. She averaged 3.5 points and 12.4 minutes in 29 games off the Chicago bench last season.
