The Denver Nuggets have hired three-time WNBA champion Sue Bird as a basketball operation associate, the team announced Friday.
"We are very excited to have Sue join our organization," president of basketball operations Tim Connelly said. "Her resume certainly speaks for itself and as a still active player she will offer an extremely unique perspective."
Bird was seen visiting a Nuggets practice in late October, and it was rumored that she might be joining the team in a front office role.
The 38-year-old guard just finished her 16th WNBA season with the Seattle Storm, where she recorded 10.
