Brittney Griner signs with Sun

The 35-year-old center, a 10-star All-Star, spent last season with the Atlanta Dream but is now headed to a franchise that is scheduled to move to her native Houston in 2027.

The deal is expected to be officially signed on Saturday, making Griner one of the highest-paid players in the league.

The Sun are positioning themselves as major title contenders with this high-profile acquisition.

Griner's return to professional dominance continues to be a major storyline in women's basketball.
