Brittney Griner, the star center and nine-time All-Star, is reportedly signing a seven-figure deal with the Connecticut Sun, moving on from the Atlanta Dream after just one season. During her time in Atlanta, she averaged 9.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game while sharing the center position with Brionna Jones. Griner spent the first 11 years of her career with the Phoenix Mercury, where she won a championship in 2014 and earned multiple All-WNBA First Team honors. The Connecticut Sun, which is set to relocate to Houston in 2027 after being sold to the Fertitta family, will benefit from Griner's extensive experience, especially after losing veteran Marina Mabrey to the Toronto Tempo. With several young players on the roster, Griner's presence will be crucial for the team's development.
