Brittney Griner signs with Connecticut Sun
The $1 million free-agent contract reflects the increasing financial growth and star power within the league.
Griner spent last season with the Atlanta Dream following her release from a Russian prison camp, and her move to Connecticut is seen as a strategic step toward finishing her career in her hometown.
The Sun are also reportedly finalizing a supermax deal with Kelsey Mitchell, signaling their intent to compete for a championship in their final season before the move.
Fans have reacted with excitement to the news, though some analysts question the long-term impact of such high-value contracts on team salary caps.
