Brittney Griner To Join Atlanta Dream As First Move In Free Agency

It is expected to be made official on Saturday, when contracts across the league are allowed to be signed.

Brittney Griner has announced her first move in free agency.

The 10-time WNBA All-Star has agreed to a one-year deal to join the Atlanta Dream.

Specific details of the deal were not released. However, it is expected to be made official on Saturday, when contracts across the league are allowed to be signed.

This off-season is the first time Griner tested free agency in her career.

The player spent her first 11 seasons in the league with the Mercury. The team took her with the No. 1 overall draft pick out of Baylor in 2013.

Griner helped lead the team to a title in her second year in the league, and the Mercury made it back to the finals in 2021.
