A New Chapter for Brittney Griner
In a major shift for the WNBA off-season, nine-time All-Star Brittney Griner has opted to leave the Atlanta Dream. According to widespread reports, the veteran center has secured a significant seven-figure contract with the Connecticut Sun.
Looking Back at Her Time in Atlanta
Griner’s tenure in Atlanta was relatively brief, as she joined the franchise last year on a single-season agreement. Throughout the campaign, she shared duties in the paint with Brionna Jones, providing a steady presence for the team. During her stint with the Dream, Griner maintained averages of:
- 9.8 points per game
- 5.2 rebounds per game
- 1.2 blocks per game
She logged an average of 20:46 minutes of playing time per contest as part of the team's rotation.
Strategic Connections
Of particular interest to league followers is Griner’s background. She is a native of Houston, a city that holds newfound relevance for the Sun organization. Following a recent acquisition by the Fertitta family, the franchise is scheduled to complete its relocation to Houston by the start of the 2027 season.
