PHOENIX — WNBA All-Star Brittney Griner has agreed to a one-year deal with the Atlanta Dream, according to a report from ESPN.
It was previously reported that Griner, a free agent, had been taking meetings with multiple teams for the first time in her career.
Griner had been a free agent before, but always re-signed with the Phoenix Mercury since she was first drafted by the franchise in 2013 as the No. 1 pick.
Griner becomes the most prominent free-agent signing in Atlanta's history, and she joins a talented squad led by Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray. The Dream made a coaching change this offseason, bringing in Karl Smesko from Florida Gulf Coast. Griner, Howard and Gray are playing in the new 3-on-3 league Unrivaled this offseason.
The Dream went 15-25 last season and made the playoffs for the second straight year. They were eliminated in the first round by eventual WNBA champion New York.
Griner, a 10-time All-Star, also had discussions with Dallas and Las Vegas.
