Brittney Griner is finalizing a deal to join the Connecticut Sun, according to a person familiar with the negotiations.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Friday night because contracts can’t be signed until Saturday.
The 10-time All-Star spent last season with the Atlanta Dream after playing the first 11 years of her career for Phoenix, which drafted her No. 1 in 2013.
The 35-year-old Griner is from Houston and the Connecticut franchise is moving there in 2027.
The 6-foot-9 forward won a WNBA title in 2014 with Phoenix and was the league’s leading scorer in 2017 and 2019.
