Brittney Griner, the two-time WNBA scoring champion, is reportedly finalizing a seven-figure contract to join the Connecticut Sun. This news was confirmed by sources to ESPN's Alexa Philippou and initially reported by Sun sideline reporter Terrika Foster-Brasby. Griner, who is 35 years old and hails from Houston, is making this move as the Sun prepares to relocate to her hometown in 2027. Last season marked a transition for Griner as she left the Phoenix Mercury, the only WNBA team she had played for, to join the Atlanta Dream. Under a new coaching staff and an offensive system focused on quick pace and shooting, Griner's performance saw a decline, averaging a career-low of 9.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 0.8 assists, and 1.2 blocks. Despite these challenges, Griner boasts an impressive resume, including being a WNBA champion in 2014, a scoring champion in 2017 and 2019, a two-time defensive player of the year, and a three-time Olympic gold medalist.
