Brittney Griner is reportedly finalizing a contract to join the Connecticut Sun in the WNBA, as confirmed by a source close to the negotiations. Griner, a 10-time All-Star, previously played for the Atlanta Dream and spent the first 11 years of her career with the Phoenix Mercury, where she won a WNBA title in 2014. Known for her scoring prowess and defensive skills, Griner has also been a key player for the U.S. national team, winning gold at the last three Olympic Games. Last season, she averaged 9.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks, all career lows, following her 10-month detention in Russia. The Sun, who are building a young team, lost Marina Mabrey in the expansion draft and will benefit from Griner's veteran presence. This offseason has been active for the league, with a new labor agreement that significantly increased player salaries, allowing some to earn over $1 million annually for the first time.
