Brittney Griner agrees to one-year deal with Atlanta Dream

Brittney Griner, a 10-time WNBA All-Star, has signed a one-year deal with the Atlanta Dream after spending 11 seasons with the Phoenix Mercury, marking a significant shift in her career. This move is described as one of the most remarkable free agency signings in league history, making Griner the biggest free agent acquisition for the Dream. Although the contract cannot be officially signed until February 1, the deal has already generated considerable excitement. Griner's departure from the Mercury signifies a new chapter for the franchise, which may also be losing Diana Taurasi to retirement. Last season, Griner averaged 17.8 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, showcasing her enduring talent after returning from a nearly 10-month wrongful detention in Russia. The Dream's roster will now feature Griner alongside rising stars like Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray.
